SUMMARY:🖥️The Storefront Experience Checklist (WBC 05/04/2026)
DESCRIPTION:Designing Memorable In-Person Experiences That Drive Loyalty. \nIn a digital world\, your physical space is your greatest competitive advantage. This high-impact workshop dives straight into a comprehensive storefront checklist designed to turn BROWSERS into BUYERS. We will audit the entire customer journey\, from mastering curb appeal and sensory design to optimizing floor plans for a frictionless flow. You’ll leave with a practical\, ready-to-use toolkit to instantly elevate your shop’s atmosphere\, eliminate customer stress points\, and ensure every visitor leaves with a reason to return. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis class is via Zoom.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExisting Clients: Use Client Portal \nNew clients: Register as a New Client \nFacilitator: Ari Takata Vasquez \n \nI create vibrant places through entrepreneurship\, design\, policy\, art\, and creativity. As a serial entrepreneur\, I’ve founded Viscera Studio\, a creative agency focused on place-based storytelling and design; Shop Viscera\, a design-forward retail brand featured in SF Chronicle\, Thrillist\, Racked\, and 7×7 Magazine; and Opportuned\, a platform empowering small businesses\, which was semi-finalist in Pharrell’s highly competitive Black Ambition Prize. \nAs a creative\, I partner with brands to develop one-of-a-kind collaborations\, including limited products\, content creation\, and experiential activations that bring stories to life in meaningful ways. As an artist\, I transform spaces through murals\, fine art\, and sculpture. My work has been commissioned by Salesforce\, Google\, and the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation\, integrating creativity into the built environment. \nWith a BA in architecture (USF) and Master’s in city planning (UC Berkeley)\, I bridge business\, design\, and policy to drive impact. I serve on the SPUR Board\, Community Works West Board\, and am a member of ULI and the American Planning Association. I also speak on entrepreneurship\, urbanism\, and creativity\, having presented at Lean Startup Conference\, NYCxDesign\, and Black is Tech. \n\n\n\n\n  \nThis workshop is offered by Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center and funded by the Office of Economic and Workforce Development to support small businesses in the Excelsior neighborhood of San Francisco \nNote: Our services and programs are open to all entrepreneurs. All Renaissance WBC/SOMA programs and services are extended to the public on a nondiscriminatory basis. \n\nAll clients  must register for classes via your client portal account. Here is how you can do it.\n \nAlready a Renaissance Client?  \nLog in to your client portal and access the calendar at the top of your screen \nNew to the Renaissance Community? \nGet started by filling out a client interest form and attending an orientation. \n*All clients must complete an interest form and attend orientation before signing up for classes.* \n \n  \nRenaissance WBC is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration. All opinions\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the view of the SBA. All SBA programs or cosponsored programs are extended to the public on a nondiscriminatory basis.
