Retail Design is a new specialty at Enredo

[:pb]

Reinforcing our purpose of Transforming through Branding, we are pleased to announce the implementation of the Retail Design area at Enredo, under the management of architect Gabriela Pavan.

"We understand that a brand is an experience, which is why this integration between architecture and design is so important. By combining Retail Design with our firm's other expertise, we can bring even greater possibilities to our clients, bringing their brands closer to their consumers, as well as generating greater relevance for points of sale."

Gabriela Pavan

The investment in this new area is a pioneering move in Goiás and once again puts Enredo in a prominent position, offering our clients even more specialized solutions in building the Brand Experience at the POS, Standardizing Stores for Franchises, Commercial Ambience and Corporate Layouts.

From ego to empathy

As a young designer you may have heard this phrase a lot. But what does it mean? As someone who is pretty empathetic and self-critical, I never felt like it applied to me. But in retrospect, I think that's because most people use "ego" to describe inflated self-importance, when it's really just a word that describes how we understand our personal identity.

The distinction is important because letting go of your ego can be a nuanced practice in empathy. It's not just advice for arrogant jerks, it's essential for anyone working professionally. As a designer, my thoughts, tastes and keystrokes obviously are part of the equation, but it took some time to figure out that I could not create work in a silo as a reflection of my "aesthetic."

To some of you this might sound like a bummer, but when you take on a client's challenges and their point of view, you will have to think differently. You will find new approaches and you will grow. But more on that later.
