Kent State Fashion School Store Redesign
This project addressed redesigning/reconfiguring the Kent State Fashion School Store, a subsidiary of the nationally and internationally ranked Kent State Fashion School. The redesign served to differentiate the Fashion School Store from other downtown Kent retailers, attract new and existing customers, raise community awareness of the store, add perceived value, and to provide fashion design and merchandising students with a suitable retail space to market their garment and accessory creations. I personally assisted with initial research and development of store concept proposals for our client, worked with the feature wall team to create our design aspects and plan, created and executed the laser cut pattern featured throughout the store, laser engraved the A-frame store sign, collaborated with other design group members to ensure cohesiveness throughout the store, and helped physically fabricate/set up the store. This project was immensely rewarding since I had the opportunity to work with students and professors from varying backgrounds in order to complete this project for our client.
