July 2013 Volume 3 Issue 2    

Greetings!

From the scent of freshly cut grass in the air to the beautiful droplets of morning dew on delicate flower petals...ahh...summer is finally here!  At ZenGenius, changing seasons are especially exciting for us because it means new and exciting retail designs
and events are just around the corner. 

We're super-excited to announce the release of our NEW ZenGenius Signature retail fixtures made from environmentally friendly steel and bamboo.  More information will be available in the coming months, but in the meantime check out the photos below.
 
As always, we sincerely thank you for all that you do: your business, your support, your encouragement, your praise and your friendship. It means the world to us and helps to constantly remind us of why we do what we do. 
Meet our Zen of the Month
Kyle Herlihy  
Kyle Herlihy
Kyle is a Graphic Designer at ZenGenius. Next month it will be 1 year that Kyle has been connected with ZenGenius.

My inspiration:
To always pursue and continue a career in the creative world no matter what form or capacity it may be. 

My favorite part about working with ZG:
Having been provided the opportunity to work at Victoria's Secret with an awesome team of people. 

A favorite project/experience
: I am currently working on a Digital Brand Guide pilot.  It has been a lot of fun to be involved in a project since its early stages and watch/help it evolve.  Technology has always been very intriguing to me and it's exciting to see its potential in terms of productivity and delivery of information within a corporation.     

A random fun fact about me
:
I have a twin and we couldn't be more opposite in terms of left brain/right brain.  After high school we tried to go our separate ways only to be reunited a few months later when he came back to Columbus to study Mechanical Engineering at OSU while I pursued my degree in Industrial Design at CCAD. 
OFA Short Course is This Weekend!

The 85th edition of the OFA Short Course starts this weekend and we couldn't be more excited!  Not only are we debuting our new ZenGenius signature fixture collection, but we have designed the Retail Trend Spot which will be featured at the show.  Our very own Joe Baer will be presenting 3 separate workshops: "The Power of Story Telling - The Grower's Story at Retail", "The Power of Smart Merchandising & Visual Merchandising" and "The Power of Technology & Social Media at Retail."  Check out the photos below from 2012 and click HERE for this year's official schedule.
