# Vincent Clarke > Design & Store Development Leader | 10+ Years in Retail Rollouts, Branded Environments & Creative Team Leadership | Award-Winning Project Delivery Location: San Anselmo, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/vincentclarke I’m a design and project leader with 10+ years building branded environments, guiding retail rollouts, and directing cross-functional teams from concept through installation. My experience spans luxury hospitality, global retail brands, and entrepreneurial ventures — always with a focus on delivering design solutions that balance creativity, functionality, and measurable business results. Currently, I manage store design at Sephora, overseeing 40+ projects annually across the U.S. and Canada. From new builds to remodels, I adapt brand standards to unique site conditions, coordinate with real estate, construction, and merchandising partners, and present site-specific recommendations directly to VP-level stakeholders. Previously, as \Director of Design & Fabrication at Heather Allen Design Group, I led studio and fabrication teams of 30+, overseeing the creative direction and rollout for 120+ for The Good Feet Store while also delivering custom concepts for luxury brands and independent retailers. My leadership extended beyond design into business growth, where I drove revenue through client relationships, SEO, and marketing, and earned 4× ICSC Visual Victory Awards for design innovation. At SRS Fabrication, I managed high-profile builds for Wynn, Bellagio, U2, WNBA, Kylie Cosmetics, and Walmart. By tightening planning, strengthening vendor collaboration, and engaging directly in prototyping with workshop teams, I improved profitability, streamlined processes, and delivered complex projects on time. I combine design leadership with deep knowledge of materials and fabrication — metals, wood, glass, acrylics — and I thrive on guiding teams and clients through challenges with a mix of creativity, strategy, and operational discipline. Looking ahead, I’m eager to continue shaping spaces at scale, mentoring teams, and contributing at a leadership level where design, business, and innovation intersect. ## Work Experience ### Store Design Manager @ SEPHORA Jan 2024 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area •Lead 40+ store projects across North America (new builds + remodels). •Adapt Sephora’s design standards to diverse site conditions while maintaining brand consistency. •Direct cross-functional teams and external partners from site selection through punch list. •Present layouts and recommendations to VP-level stakeholders, streamlining approvals. ### Senior Design Project Manager @ SRS Fabrication Inc.
