ABOUT CHARLES FADEM:
Working for years in New York City, Charles forged an eclectic background, working in corporate interiors, residential interiors, historical restoration, and eventually high-rise, mixed-use residential. During that time, he founded a graphic design company, as well. Eventually, he landed at Handel Architects, a firm run by a few of his former professors.
After a brief layover in Philly doing some freelance work, Charles moved to DC, first working at Shalom Baranes Associates, where he rediscovered his love of interiors. It was there that his passion for the challenge of designing the human scale experience took hold. It led to another unique opportunity at Hickok Cole Architects, working in their fledgling Lifestyle Interiors department.
Charles had been keeping tabs on Board & Vellum from afar, and got in touch when an opportunity opened up. He packed himself into a rental car and drove across the country with his dog, Q, a Tibetan Terrier named after the subway train back in New York. When he’s not designing interiors at Board & Vellum on Capitol Hill in Seattle, he can be found writing fiction, drooling over classic cars, or working on his own slightly less than classic ‘12 Mustang.
ABOUT CHRIS GUILLOT:
Hey, I’m Chris Guillot (GEE-oh, with a hard "G"). I’m a seasoned retail executive with over 20 years of experience in the retailing and manufacturing of women’s and men’s fashion apparel, women’s accessories, branded and private label handbags, stationery and gifting products, and personal care.
My national career includes working with Anthropologie, J. Crew, Nordstrom, Gap Inc. (Gap and Banana Republic), Estée Lauder (Origins Natural Resources), Spiegel, Chelsey Henry, and the Green Inspired brand (exclusively for Target).
I’ve cultivated a unique depth and breadth of experience that spans branding, product development, merchandising and visual display, retail financial planning, strategic inventory management, account management, production, inbound logistics, retail training and development, store management, and personal styling for companies of all sizes and stages of growth.
Now, I’m the leader of the boutique retail business consultancy Merchant Method, and designer of The Merchant Map and Merchant Math business training programs, and host of the video show Retail Charm School. As a retail and manufacturing SMB expert and industry thought leader, I’ve been featured by Business Insider, NBC2 News, Vend, Shopify, Stitch Labs, Compliant IA, Big Commerce, Total Retail, and more.
