Donald Rattner discusses the science behind space design with a focus on how retailers can connect more organically and successfully with customers. He coins a new term, “retidential” design, a mash-up of retail and residential, to describe a movement towards more intimate, home-like retail spaces.
Donald is an architect who helps individuals and organizations optimize creative performance by applying scientific research to the design of physical space. He is widely published as both author and subject. His most recent book, My Creative Space: How to Design Your Home to Stimulate Ideas and Spark Innovation, 48 Science-based Techniques, received a Gold Award from the Nonfiction Authors Association, a Silver Medal in the Nautilus Book Awards, and a Semi-finalist in the Chanticleer Instruction and Insight Awards. He has also written for numerous print and online channels, including Work Design Magazine, Better Humans, The Writer’s Cooperative, ChildArt Magazine, Residential Architect, and assorted blogs. I have contributed entries to such books as Design Professionals and the Built Environment, and the International Dictionary of Architects and Architecture. His work has been featured on CNN, in such publications as The New York Times, Houzz, Architectural Digest, and Builder. You can also listen to previous podcast interview, including Killer Innovations, Love Your Work, the Small Business Radio Show, the PsychCentral Show, and Creative Warriors.
