Think About Creation
This is a community established by like-minded people who share the same vision: "Create the future of retail through Visual Merchandising."
Are you taking action to create your own creation?
Where does our inspiration come from?
And what kind of people and team will we work with to create this?
Are there any friends who can lend you a hand, or who share the same concerns?
This is the VM community. Why not start by talking with like-minded people?
