We are all consumers. How and where we consume is just as important as what we consume. As fashion designers seek to create a sustainable future through slow fashion philosophies, the retail store has an important role to play. In this webinar on Feb. 13 at 2 pm EST, join Rebekah Matheny, Associate Professor of Interior Design at Ohio State University, to learn about translating slow fashion’s methodology into a slow retail design process. 

Rebekah Matheny, Associate Professor of Interior Design at The Ohio State University, holds a Masters of Architecture from the University of Oregon where she also received a Technical Teaching Certificate with a concentration in Sustainable Design Strategies for Interior Architecture. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Cincinnati. She recently became a certified futurist through the Institute For The Future. 

With over a decade of industry experience, Matheny bridges academia and design practice. She brings this expertise to her work as an educator, researcher, and consultant, integrating a future-oriented strategic process for sustainable brand strategy to the areas of retail, hospitality, workplace, and higher education design. Leveraging her background in Sustainable Design Strategies, Matheny’s academic research investigates the sensory experience of retail and brand environments to create emotional connections between people, products, brand purpose, and physical place to forge meaningful memories and foster stronger relationships.
