Jaime Izurieta
Jaime Izurieta is an architect, designer, urban development consultant, and founder of Storefront Mastery, where he works with downtown organizations and small businesses to rethink the relationship between storefronts, sidewalks, and thriving local economies. His work treats the ground floor of the city as a critical piece of public life—exploring how design, hospitality, placemaking, and the everyday choices of small businesses can turn streets from places of transaction into places where people want to spend time.
Jaime joined Michael Berne and guest host Josh Yeager on The Sidewalk Ballet for a conversation about the changing role of retail, from dwell time and experiential storefronts to the larger question of why commerce continues to play such an important role in how we experience cities.
