Kristin Currier’s Summary
Over 16 years of professional experience related to the retail industry in marketing oriented web and print design, store planning, in-store graphics and fixture installations, product merchandising and customer service.
My varied experience has one common thread, and that is of creatively designing environments that people want to shop. From physically arranging a sales floor on site or on paper, to building catalogs, to working on a web store, the goal is the same. What works for brick & mortar stores -clean, attractive, consistent and accessible design- works doubly well for the internet.
I look forward to applying my history and knowledge to the ecommerce industry.
Kristin Currier’s Specialties:
Web graphics and email, in-store and internet visual merchandising.
