Visual Merchandising Creative/Architectual Design

Being a visual merchandiser offers many different career choices. One of the many rewarding job choices include working as a visual merchandising creative/ architectural designer. These designers work to build stores, show rooms, retail chains, boutiques, and so much more. Without their innovative ways many businesses may find a space they want but need help figuring out how to fit their store within because they new store must be able to speak the same way as any other store they already have open. One of the more famous architectural designers include Paolo Giachi. Paolo Giachi has designed stores for Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton, Smythson and Brioni in Milan, Miami, Taiwan, Los Angeles, and Florence (luxurysociety.com). In order to follow this career path, most have to take many steps to succeed. The steps include obtaining a degree, studying retail, getting experience, and taking the licensing exam (www.education-portal.com). When all these steps have been accomplished an architectual designer can look to make around $75,000 a year (www.indeed.com). Being an architectural designer means designing buildings and stores within, consulting with clients, estimating project costs, and preparing drawings (diplomaguide.com). This job has many possibilities to work on some amazing projects for some very good well known companies that are continuing to grow. To advance, they should be willing to keep on top of education and new technology. The great thing about this job is that any big city across the country can be prime real estate for the next big project.
