Experience Design in Practice: Sandra Olave on Memory, Culture, and the Built Environment
E
22:00Evan TroxelHOST
I'm curious, like when did you decide to start doing that? Was it when you first got to Detroit? Was it something that you transitioned into? You know, give us the story about how that happened and, and what you're doing now.

22:13Sandra OlaveGUEST
A few years ago [laughs], I did this, uh, jewelry store in Birmingham who, which was, um, Miesing.
S
22:28Sandra OlaveGUEST
And I remember walking into the space and it felt very traditional jewelry sort of layout and in drawing, right? So I'm like, Miesing is about floating, it's about the sort of the jewel itself, the, the stone.
S
22:45Sandra OlaveGUEST
So how can the environment replicate that? So anyway, I built this jewel-- Long story short, I did the jewelry store and it got really lots of comments from Birmingham City, the, um, Birmingham, Michigan.

22:58Sandra OlaveGUEST
And, uh, this gentleman walked into the store and we started talking about design.
