EP 251: WHAT MAKES A RETAIL SPACE WORTH NOTICING WITH ALLISON LEVY

In this episode, I’m joined by visual merchandiser Allison Levy to talk about her career in retail, specialty outdoor apparel, fixture design, and visual merchandising. Allison shares how she finds inspiration in unexpected places, including dumpster-dived treasures, and how her love of gardening connects to the way she approaches merchandising and design. We also talk about her experience training sales reps and store employees and what she’s learned about creating spaces that feel interesting, intentional, and alive.

  • Finding creative inspiration in unexpected places and turning everyday objects into merchandising elements
  • How Allison’s experience in retail, apparel, fixture design, and training shaped her approach to visual merchandising
  • Why designing a retail space and designing a garden have more in common than you might think
