Jane expressed an interest in refreshing her decades old brand in order to breathe new life and new energy into the business, as well as bring someone on to update the visual merchandising of the store.

The overall goal was to improve the flow of the store and make it less congested and more simplified for ease of shopping. In the end I think we made it so that the space that she had was used to the maximal profitability.
