TEAM INTRO // Meet Vanessa who joined Design Merchants 4 years ago and has been an integral and valuable part of the team ever since! With a passion for fashion, Vanessa has worked in magazines (as a fashion and beauty editor), as a personal stylist and in retail fashion (in sales, VM and buying). Bringing that breadth of experience and knowledge to her role as VM consultant and senior stylist at DM. Vanessa is one of the kindest, funniest people I have met, great with people and even revamps my wardrobe from time to time! A proud mum to her daughter and artist in her spare time @vstarlife ð Itâs great to be working on projects again with this talented powerhouse! #designmerchants #visualmerchandising #visualmerchandiser #perthfashionstylist #perthVM #VMperth #perthvisualmerchandiser #visualmerchandiserperth #perthcreatives #creativestudio #retailinstallation #visualmerchandisingagency #socialclubmembership ð· @shoshcreative
Heading into Winter and with restrictions easing we took inspiration for the latest @cockburngateway VM concept from fashion for weekends down South or just adventures in the city. Using our custom painted ombré bamboo curtains and floral accents. #designmerchants #visualmerchandising #visualmerchandiser #perthVM #VMperth #perthvisualmerchandiser #visualmerchandiserperth #socialclubmembership creativestudio #retailinstallation #visualmerchandisingagency #retailinstallationperth #perthretailinstallation
We are very excited to be starting to get back into some VM projects and I thought it was a perfect time to introduce you to the DM team. ð This is the lovely and talented Sally who started with Design Merchants 6 years ago (with a few breaks to live in Japan, develop her own creative practice and study) Sally has always been a valuable part of the team and has recently become my Design Assistant as well as continuing as a VM consultant. Sally is a creative through and through. She has a background working in retail, fashion & design, has completed a Cert IV in Visual Arts and continually pursues her own art and fashion projects through @delimates ð I am looking forward to the creative brainstorming and general fun we always have as we ramp back up! #designmerchants #visualmerchandising #visualmerchandiser #perthVM #VMperth #perthvisualmerchandiser #visualmerchandiserperth #perthcreatives #creativestudio #retailinstallation #visualmerchandisingagency #socialclubcommunity #socialclubmembership ð· @shoshcreative

With everything going on lately I had forgotten that Design Merchants has turned 9! It really has been an amazing 9 years and I have met and worked with so many talented and inspiring people because of this. I do so appreciate the clients that we have collaborated with over this time and the opportunities they have given us. This has helped us grow as a business, push design boundaries and produce countless creative VM projects that we are immensely proud of. I started the business when a lot of people told me how bad the retail landscape was but I saw potential and opportunity in assisting businesses and brands in creating inspirational visual merchandising experiences through training, consulting and production of VM displays and activations. Design Merchants has evolved with the changing times for retail and we will use this same philosophy moving forward to support our DM community which includes our clients and suppliers and of course my wonderful team. xx Juliet #designmerchants #visualmerchandising #visualmerchandiser #creativestudio #designstudio #perthcreatives ð· @shoshcreative
I had a fun afternoon taking photos of the hydrangeas I had been drying in the shed over the past few months. Love the spectrum of colours! #designmerchants #visualmerchandising #visualmerchandiser #creativestudio #hydrangealove #manjimuphydrangae #driedflowers

Am loving this delicate trailing plant and it is loving our workshop! I was in the workshop today doing a bit of tidying and planning and gave it a bit of TLC while I was there. ð¿ð #designmerchants #visualmerchandising #creativestudio #designstudio #visualmerchandiser #studioscene #designmerchantsworkshop
Hope everyone is looking after themselves and spending some quality time with their plant friends! Sally pictured here looking after one of our favourite workshop plants. ð¿ð#designmerchants #visualmerchandising #visualmerchandiser #designstudio #creativeworkshop #perthcreatives ð¸ @shoshcreative
It has been a bit of a slow process tidying up the studio (waiting for the motivation & creativity etc ð¬) but I am finally making some progress which I will show you soon. I have also been having fun with some of the collections I am uncovering...including a large amount of string, a small amount of which is pictured here! #designmerchants #visualmerchandising #flatlaystyle #perthcreatives #creativestudio #isocreative
TEAM DM // Missing seeing these lovely faces in person! Many of you will have met Vanessa (left) and Sally (right) and know that they are talented, smart, funny and creative and a valuable and valued part of Design Merchants. During this time, we are keeping in regular contact on what is happening in the business and brainstorming future projects. Our DM Socialclub has gone virtual and we are doing Friday afternoon drinks as another way to stay connected and have some fun too! ð¥ð Love this photo which captures the moment I gave the guys their new business cards! ð¸ @shoshcreative #designmerchants #visualmerchandising #creativestudio #designstudio #perthcreatives

Looking forward to kick starting a bit of creativity this week. This weekend I actually got out some pencils and pens for some sketches which felt really good. This week I plan to get into the studio, clean it up and restyle ready for who knows what creative projects....there may be my first ever video of me on stories too ð¬ as I thought I might show you guys the process too! #designmerchants #visualmerchandising #studiorevamp #creativestudio #perthcreatives #visualmerchandiser ð¸ @shoshcreative
