WORKSHOPS & SEMINARS
I offer public and custom seminars and workshops to share my expertise with business owners, staff teams, and professional associations. My goal is to empower participants to create unique, cost-effective design solutions that bring in new customers, inspire sales, and strengthen their brand.
All of my retail and business workshops are hands-on and designed with action and implementation in mind. You will always leave with a plan in hand and fresh ideas in mind.
Bring me in for a workshop for you and/or your staff, tailored to your current needs, or check back for upcoming public seminars. Custom workshops start at $445 for 1.5 hours. Give me a call or email me with some information about your store and your goals, and I can prepare just the right workshop for you.
“Up Design Lounge’s “Retail Design Done Right” seminar provided Sandy business owners with tons of research-backed ideas for attracting attention to their stores, showcasing their retail spaces and using store layout and product placement to drive sales. Ullika is very skilled in the field of retail design and her experience and expertise in the field becomes immediately apparent as soon as the presentation begins. Our attendees were amazed not only at the beauty and simplicity of the design concepts she presented, but at how these concepts could be recreated at minimal cost, often using common household items. Every attendee we spoke to afterward was very satisfied with the seminar and would come to see it again if offered. Needless to say, this is already in the works.”

I always engage people with hands-on activities, helpful demos that show how small changes can make a huge difference, and immediately actionable tips and tricks.
