For my Strategic Design and Innovation Fellowship, I had to work in a group of six people to come up with a retail start-up, which had to be stationed in College Park, MD. We had to incorporate every aspect of an actual start-up, including market research, promotional plans, financials, and design elements. Our choice for the start up was a paint bar, a place where students would be able to come and socialize while also giving them an opportunity to show their creative side, as they may not always have the opportunity to do so due to the lack of options in the greater College Park area.
