USC, Retail Design, Smith Brewer

USC Arndale Flagship Store needed a fresh concept to furniture and fittings, designed to create an engaging visual presence that showcases each brand’s best products. These innovative designs were strategically placed in key locations within the store, creating focal points that highlight specific areas. A comprehensive store drawing information package was issued, complete with a development catalogue. Our collaboration with brands involved discussions about their selected areas, working together on proposals for the store’s grand opening.

Delivered commercial retail environments from concept through to completion, leading space planning, layout design and detailed design packages. Managed multiple projects concurrently within a fast-paced environment, ensuring clear organisation and consistent delivery across all stages. Worked closely with workshop and fabrication teams, reviewing prototypes and signing off manufacturing drawings to ensure design intent was accurately realised. Coordinated with clients, contractors and internal teams, driving weekly meetings and delivering presentations for client review to maintain progress and meet project deadlines.
