kayte is on the retail visual team, responsible for concepting and prototyping all of the visual direction for the stores which includes the seasonal concepts and their written narratives. She rst does a ton of research, which then becomes a book of inspirational imagery to send to the stores, then she works on prototyping for the displays! Typically she is involved in a few seasons at a time and always working ahead to the next year! here are some brand new earth day windows with the concept of metamorphosis, a showcase of the monarch.

going inside is as important as looking outside

some advice: she loves trolling pinterest for inspiration but has a big word of caution to not rely on too much outside inspiration. being surrounded by ideas is great but its important to develop your own style and taste. She also says to make connections and always be willing to share information, you never know when the tables will be turned. and to be open to everything!! You never know when a task at your job could turn into a new opportunity.
