Visual Merchandising Retail Safari For Circle Collective London

Visual Merchandising Retail Safari For Circle Collective London

This month it was a pleasure to lead a Visual Merchandising Retail Safari for students from Circle Collective 🤩 

The Circle Collective, a London-based charity and social enterprise that supports young people into life-changing employment opportunities.

We spent the day exploring some of London’s most exciting retail destinations, starting at Coal Drops Yard, where students discovered innovative store concepts, brand storytelling, and customer experiences in action.

We then headed to Harrods to explore luxury retail excellence, before finishing with a visit to the exciting Été Celine pop-up at the Selfridges Corner Shop.

The curiosity, engagement, and enthusiasm shown throughout the day were fantastic to see. Retail has the power to inspire creativity, confidence, and future careers, and it was wonderful to share insights into visual merchandising and brand experience with such a motivated group.

Thank you to Danielle Gale, Circle Collective and all the brilliant students who made the day so enjoyable.

Judging at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026

Judging at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026

This month I had the pleasure of attending the RHS Chelsea Flower Show judging the incredible trade stands and small gardens.

It’s such a privilege to be asked by the Royal Horticultural Society to take on the role of Panel Leader. The presentation standard across the show this year was extremely impressive with exhibitors creating the most incredible trade stands.
I was also incredibly proud to collaborate with The Peony Girl on the design and installation of her beautiful stand at Chelsea. It was a wonderful opportunity to help bring her vision to life and create a space that reflected her distinctive artistic style. The Peony Girl offers original artwork, fine art prints, and luxurious silk scarves, combining the romance of the English garden with the elegance and refinement of Oriental influences. The result was a stand that felt both timeless and captivating, and it was a pleasure to be part of the journey. https://www.thepeonygirl.com/
