Words from alumni

Very inspiring masterclass, delivered by a very experienced and passionate professional!
It's the science behind good retail design! Finally!
Even with my experience it was good to focus in detail on the theory of retail design throughout this Masterclass. For those new to the theories about buyer personae, spot plans, senses, routing... this training was definitely a revelation. This Masterclass gave me both new insights and the chance to question my current view of retail design. What more could a person want?
