There's nothing like seeing your ideas on paper come to fruition in a 3-D, real world space. I recently worked with a Salem OR area business to redesign a retail space: to lighten and brighten and to show off the features (in this case, the merchandise) the business has to offer. The owner and I met a couple of months ago to discuss what it was he was looking for. The family business in a vintage, downtown building hadn't had a "space lift" in decades. He had a contractor but no ideas on where to start and how to accomplish his goals. It became my undertaking to come up with ideas, solutions, a redesign plan and a process on how to complete the project most efficiently without disrupting daily business operations. Following my consultation with the business owner and his contractor, I turned them loose to begin the work. There were frequent phone calls and a few visits to assure that things were on track to meet a deadline for a big promotion that was to begin mid-August. While there are details to finish up on and some new lighting to install, the results are clearly apparent. Customers are noticing the new look immediately and staff is noticing more sales and a new ambience in the place. The owner is certain that the changes will improve the business's image as a professional and customer oriented music mecca.
