Spoiler Alert: There’s no right way to do it! There is no defined path to success in this industry, and no single definition of what a “design job” looks like…and that’s kind of the beauty of going down this path. We all have the opportunity to shape our own careers, decide how we use design to do big things, and be a positive force in the world. During this session, we’ll talk about our own journeys in the restaurant industry, including the challenges we’ve faced as women in the industry.

Sustainability is a big, broad term. What does it mean in the context of fashion, retail design and architecture? Brands have always had to creatively evolve to remain culturally relevant and competitively positioned. While that makes fashion an action-oriented and exciting field, it has also made sustainability challenging—to say the least! Let’s face it, the constant need to refresh and update has made retail an especially resource-intensive industry. The global pandemic has accelerated trends we have been seeing in retail—all new shopping patterns, increased use of technology and the need for the store to change alongside changes in brand identity. Why not take this opportunity to also reduce waste and redistribute valuable materials? Join the conversation with Nina Han Butler, Director of Store Planning & Facilities at Valentino and Yarden Harari AIA, LEED AP (BD+C, ID+C), Associate at CallisonRTKL Inc.

Nostalgia has been used in various ways to capture attention in design and lately we are noticing a resurgence in the use of it as a main ingredient amongst brands. Layering in a very clear sense of nostalgia, can truly resonate with the customer. How quickly a person becomes relaxed in a space when they start to feel at home in a space that evoke fond memories. And now, more than ever as people navigate, and pivot, into what our world looks like as we adjust to life in a pandemic, hanging on to feelings of comfort, hope, and happiness are just what people need. Join Diane Spiridoulias and Karen Kritzer, professors from the Visual Merchandising Arts Program at Sheridan College as they discuss Future Nostalgia in this PAVE Coffee Chat!
