I'M
DOMINIC
Martinez.
Retail Merchandising and Design Student
I am currently a student majoring in Apparel Retail Merchandising & Design at North Dakota State University. I have spent a majority of my life in sports and currently a track and field athlete at NDSU. Through those years I have acquired social skills as well as mastering the atmosphere of what an athlete goes through day in and day out. I plan to pursue a career that involves designing and marketing of athletic wear and athletic shoes. With my experience as an athlete and my knowledge that I have studied over the years about fashion and retailing, I aspire to be able to become a compliment to a company or my employer.

02 Projects
Kindred People - Visual Display Project
During Visual Merchandising, I was able to work with classmates and partner with a local boutique in downtown Fargo called Kindred People. For our display we decided to go with the theme "April showers bring May flowers." We were able to handcraft the raindrops as well as the yarn balls added for aesthetic value and color. We also used the stores featured clothing to dress the mannequin.
Tartan Project
In Product Development we were able to work with our school tartan by applying its design to a topic we were given, given that we were incorporated with tailgating we decided to use the tartan on tailgating items. Being that tailgating is big at NDSU due to the football team's success, this allowed us to use this as a great marketing tool and keeping the school pride.
Lei Lani: Swimwear and Travel
Being able to create a retail store from scratch was one of my favorite projects. My group and I were given a merchandise to sell and come up with ways we would run our store and the brand image we put behind it. This really tested our skills of being able to work well with others as each of us had many ideas. This also allowed me to open up my mind and put marketing ideas to the table.
