I designed this Desigual window with a face in the back as well as the front. I moved the display up close to the window to improve visibility in the bright summer sun. The display facing the inside highlighted fun product details, making great use of the remaining staging area.
Earth tones below the large crystals and delicate orchids keeps this display feeling balanced and grounded, while geodes placed throughout the case accentuate the druzy geodes Nina Nguyen is famous for. Artist cards and a booklet highlighting the product's details proved to prolong the interest of passers by.
A paintbrush and a lot of window paint helped me create a celebration banner wrapping around both of the store's front windows. This was one of the first of many subsequent signs using paint, chalk, and computer graphic design.
The leafy vines and flowers in the corners were inspired by the store's shopping bag design.
Paper getting back to its roots. Inspiration for this simple idea came from the seemingly universal appeal if the "Tree of Life" theme in art across the ages.

Just finished hanging some fabric fall oak leaves.
Orange and turquoise make a cool combo to brighten up fall.
Top shelf detail - Keeping it simple on a high shelf made these watches accessible enough that they were often grabbed to try on.
Second shelf detail - I use whatever I can get my hands on to cross merchandise and liven up my displays. This little critter is a rogue Christmas ornament.
Third shelf detail - A little flow helps to lead the eye around these chunky pieces from Lucky.
A little height made a lot of additional room for our especially extensive collection in this Chipita trunk show. Compartmentalizing the pieces onto fixtures also created ease of shopping by allowing for meticulous organization.
Amy and I at the trunk show for Nina Nguyen. The large snowflakes on the upper right are created with paper and stuffed with netting. I also softened the edges by lining them with tulle.
