On March 30th, marquardt+ Studio Pinpoint created, assembled and facilitated the first in a series of Thought Leadership Roundtables, to assist in the development of relevant curriculum for Harrington College of Design.

Our first roundtable focused on the changes occurring in the Retail sector and the impact those changes have on retail store design, designer skill sets, branded environments, college curriculum, graphic design, photography, and brand positioning and development.

m+spp not only created the program but spearheaded gathering retail executives from high profile companies. Tom Marquardt of m+ mediated the discussion and Romana Mirza of Studio Pinpoint facilitated, keeping us on task and subject!

Currently, m+spp is writing a white paper about what we learned during our discussion and the trends in retail.

Retail executives included:

    Mike DeFazzio, Director of Store Concepts of Walgreens
    Adam Cook, Vice President of Retail Project & Development Services of Jones Lang LaSalle
    Judy Miller, Senior Product Manager of Crate & Barrel

Additional participants included:

    John Rouse, Publisher of Contract Magazine
    John Martin-Rutherford, Chair of the Interior Design Program, Harrington College of Design
    Bradley Kisner, Chair of the Communications Program, Harrington College of Design
    Dirk Fletch, Chair of the Photography Program, Harrington College of Design

We would like to thank Jill Olsen, Central Regional Studio Sales of 3Form for sponsoring this event and providing coffee and lunch.

We lost a very special member of the marquardt+ family yesterday. Jasper, Lauren’s very sweet, fluffy, loving goldenpoodle went into the ER Wednesday evening with pain, and ended up needing surgery for a malformation in his abdomen that was basically an aneurysm, causing internal bleeding. He went in for surgery, but was sadly unable to pull through. He was only 8 years old, so it came as quite a shock, and weighed even heavier since Jasper’s older feline brother, Rosenthal, just passed two months ago as well.

Jasper was in the office all the time, providing emotional support for all of us. If Vince wasn’t running up and down the office with him, Tom was playing with him on the back deck. Anytime someone needed a big, furry hug, he was right there.

Jasper’s medical bills got quite high during his hospital visit, so if you would like to give any amount to help Lauren out with these costs, you can do so here:
