RETAIL DESIGN
Elevate your brand’s
Our retail specialists work with you to develop a complete strategy for telling your brand and product story through custom POP and retail fixture programs, branded retail environments, and corporate showrooms. We make sure your brand stays consistent across touchpoints to reinforce brand recognition and get your products noticed. Through sketches and 3D renderings, we explore custom designs tailored to your specific products. We then roll up our sleeves and bring them to life in our shop, or work with one of our trusted manufacturing partners.

Why Humid
Brand-driven design
We put the brand at the center of every design decision, from the shape language to the materials and finishes. Intentional choices like these help us establish an elevated retail presence for your brand that leaves a lasting impression on consumers.
Design + build united
Our design and build teams are in constant communication over the course of a project. This coordinated approach not only ensures our designs will be realistic to execute, but allows us to explore truly unique and envelope-pushing concepts.
Integrated services
You’ll have a dedicated creative team working on your project, but if the scope calls for it, we can loop in our branding or product design teams to supplement our retail designs. This seamless integration of our services allows us to produce cohesive branded work across a variety of touchpoints for our clients.
Logistics + storage
Transporting and storing physical assets can be a headache. That’s why we offer logistics services, as well as storage in our SoCal warehouse for the assets we produce. Lean on us to get your assets where they need to go.
