During my time as an intern with the Meijer Properties team, I was able to design and render a (hypothetical) market format store located in Traverse City, Michigan.
Research Insights
After researching and visiting the city itself, I found that Traverse City is best known for the National Cherry Festival, sailing on the Grand Traverse Bay, and the sheer amount of tourism in the area.

Creating a moodboard helped me find inspiration for how my research findings could translate to a designed environment.

With help from the Properties team, I consolidated my ideas into a final materials, furniture, and fonts list.
Fonts were supplied by Meijer, but wall/flooring finishes and furniture were fair game to explore. I chose furniture from Grand Rapids Chair Company® to stay local and accessible.
