Anthropologie: Visual Merchandising Internship

My job at Anthropologie is what made me fall in love with visual merchandising. I learned from both a visual merchandiser around placing product and a display coordinator who created the window display and various fixtures. I learned how to develop visual narrative for apparel, home, and beauty products. Often times, I assisted with the redesign of floor sets, reimagining new shops through the placement of product and styling of mannequins, walls, and tables.

I also learned how to creatively problem solve. Visual merchandising is like a puzzle – often the best shop for a product doesn’t have the physical space for it or there’s product that could go in three different shops. Daily I assisted with placing product in the best visual alignment to what concept was set during floor set, as well styled mannequins throughout the store. I helped drive traffic into the store through compelling window displays and window mannequins. One of my favorite projects was helping create the summer window. I put together and painted the urns that were used in that window. Click through the gallery below to see them!
