Chapter Profile

Our chapter, which includes the top design professionals of today, showcases the cutting edge trend-setters that create experiential consumer environments.The California / Southwest Chapter, which has now absorbed Arizona, California, New Mexico, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah, has been an integral cog in the re-branding of the Retail Design Institute, formerly the Institute of Store Planners, by successfully developing and launching the new Retail Design Institute web site backed by a powerful Content Management System (CMS).
The chapter philosophy exudes a sense of style, trend-setting, and clean and cutting edge design.

The Retail Design Institute are the trend developers and setters, educators, coaches, creators, scriptwriters, and pit crew. We are Retail.
