Convert two unused retail stores, into spaces that would support a new brand that blended virtual reality and hospitality.

Design the two stores’ internals and façades.

Form the user experience and suggest how the store could become financially viable.

Perform bi-weekly retrospectives to align where the project was, its issues and where it was going in a hybrid agile and waterfall project system.
