shoe box store seminar


Our studio has been invited to an IIDA sponsored Retail/Hospitality Forum event featuring a presentation by Joe Baer, founder of ZenGenius LLC. Baer's career encompasses several years of progressive and innovative leadership in the Visual Merchandising and Special Events industries. He is a creative entrepreneur and creative force.

What is the difference between Visual Merchandising and Interior Design? How can learning more about visual merchandising improve your design work and create additional opportunities for retail and service projects? Understand the basics and guiding principles of visual merchandising and improve your skills as an Interior Designer.

This information session will include a review of the Retail Industry, history, terms, trends and great examples of how retail merchandising and interior design are being used in tandem to create extraordinary retail experiences. In addition, your skills and knowledge will be put to the test with hands-on quick merchandising exercises and an exciting visual challenge.
