Samantha Jane was born in Huntington Beach, the Surf City of USA. I have over 20 years of experience in the surf industry with my background in visuals. I started working at Huntington Surf and Sport, where my love for Roxy developed. Once I graduated from FIDM I pursued my dream as a buyer and continued to push my limits with visuals while accepting a Retail Merchandise Specialist with Quiksilver in 2011.
Here is where I created my career and became the Director of Visual Merchandising and managed a team of Retail Merchandise Specialists who serviced accounts across the country. I created and collaborated with my team to elevate retail to the next level. I also worked closely with sales management to create sales meeting displays, vignettes, and high elevated visual content. My team was highly well known to bring freshness to the market place and execute high level retail environments.
I have developed my S J Merchandising Firm as the industry has changed and companies have lost visual merchandisers. My belief is that retail is key to a brand’s image and volume. S J Merchandising will bring the surf industry to the next level of retail and bring the swell of sales.
