Retail tours / safaris

There is no better way to appreciate the constantly evolving retail landscape than to visit physical stores. I personally make it a point to stay on top of inspiring openings and developments. It is then a true joy to share my findings through carefully crafted tours.

Many retail enthusiasts have already benefited from tailored visits of my hometown, Brussels, whose retail scene has much more to offer than most expect. I am also quite familiar with Antwerp, Paris and London.

Trend spotting reports

Curious about a specific retail matter? I track retail insights daily across a wide range of topics and outlets. So I most likely already have valuable takeaways and tips to share.

If you need to dive deeper, I can further research your specific topic of interest and compile a comprehensive report that meets your needs.

So, which topic would you like me to look into for you?

Publications

Writing about retail design has been a key part of my career, covering a wide array of topics from design practices and education to case studies, industry insights, and future trends. My writing spans various formats and speaks to both academic and professional audiences.

If you’re looking for a fresh, expert perspective for an upcoming publication, take a look at my past editorial work, and let’s connect!
