Additional Info:	Please join The Retail Design Institute and the team from Girvin \| Seattle for an evening of exploration, networking, wine and savories at Girvin's offices on the corner of Second Avenue and Pine, near the Pike Place Market, the 5th floor, above the Nordstrom Rack. There will be some storytelling, as well -- Tim Girvin's been working as a strategist and designer for 35 years in the Northwest, across the United States, and internationally. He'll offer some views of his philosophy, his experience and his beginnings, as a retail designer. His focus then, and now, is about developing experiences that are fundamentally based on storytelling. Whether mythic, legendary, centuries old, or brand new, Girvin's work lies in the heart of the brand, the story, the experience that can be unfolded. In the 70s, Tim began, literally, as a retail designer, starting in creating integrated campaign development and experiences at Nordstrom. From there, he worked in LA at Bullock's Wilshire, May; Atlanta, Rich's; New York City's Bloomingdale's and Tiffany & Co; Boston's Jordan Marsh, Philadelphia's John Wanamaker's, Dayton Hudson and Target in Minneapolis; Dallas' Neiman Marcus and other retailers -- from Yves Saint Laurent to Eddie Bauer. Later, his experiences and team members have evolved into practice that stretches disciplines creatively, nationally and internationally -- from hospitality and restaurants, gaming and entertainment, packaging and product ideation, writing blogs and journals, even selling his paintings, stones and wooden objects. Join us, to explore more, at Girvin \| Seattle. RSVP to Jeri Nelson, space is limited.
