I led the development of Anthropologie & Co. in Westport, CT, a flagship location that redefined the retail experience by seamlessly integrating shopping, dining, and community engagement. Opened in September 2016, this expansive space was designed to be a destination in its own right, offering much more than a traditional retail store.

The Westport location featured an inviting blend of fashion, home décor, beauty, and an in-house dining experience, all under one roof. The thoughtfully curated spaces were designed to inspire, with each area reflecting Anthropologie’s signature eclectic style while catering to the local community’s tastes and sensibilities. The dining component, with its focus on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, added a new layer of experience, encouraging customers to linger and explore.

From the lush garden installations to the artisanal product displays and the warm, inviting ambiance of the café, every detail was crafted to create a holistic experience that engaged all the senses. Anthropologie & Co. in Westport became a model for the brand’s evolution, showcasing how retail can be an immersive, multi-dimensional experience that connects with customers on a deeper level.
