Industry City
ASHYA joined Industry City’s retail destination on the Brooklyn waterfront as one of the founding shops in the Makers Guild — a design-studio-meets-retail concept built around transparency, where customers could see a maker’s process alongside the finished product. The shop carried a curated mix of accessories, periodicals, and objects reflecting the founders’ cultural influences and curiosities.
Retail Launch
I worked directly with Industry City’s Vice President of Leasing, the lead designer, and the project manager to bring the space to life over five months — managing and overseeing the construction budget with the leasing company, hiring and training retail staff, overseeing vendor relations and in-store clienteling, and managing store ordering and inventory.
Spatial Drawings
The retail launch and its collaborations were covered by The New York Times Style Magazine, CFDA, and WWD, among others.
