'The Display Kid' with Sam Visram
'The Display Kid' with Sam Visram
Podcast Description
It’s something I got called many years back in a derogatory way......
"You're the Display Kid that's come to make our store look pretty!"
But now I kind of like it.........
I guess all Visual Merchandisers can relate to the concept of being called: “The Display Kid”. We all have our own version.
For this reason I decided to set up a podcast series where I'll be connecting with leaders within the visual merchandising space. We'll be talking through the personal and professional stories that have shaped them into the creative humans they are now.

In this episode, I sit down with Sallie Smith, Head of Visual Presentation at Fortnum & Mason, one of the world's most iconic luxury retail institutions. Sallie has spent over 20 years building and leading one of the most celebrated visual teams in the industry.
We get into what it means to stay creatively hungry after two decades in the same building, why she chooses standard over signature, how she handles rejection without losing conviction, and what it actually looks like to lead a team where the best idea wins, regardless of who had it.
A conversation about craft, trust, bloody-mindedness, and what it takes to keep making work that surprises people, every single time.
