In the Making: Merchandising and Asset Organization
“By building some of these habits, you’re saving ‘future you’ time by spending time now.”
Crafting a Business — On Thursday, February 26, 2026 we held a conversation with NBSS staff members Kristen Odle, Retail & Exhibit Manager, and Barbara Rutkowski, Interim Director of Marketing & Communications. They shared insights and practical tips on how to build beautiful, tactile, brand-aligned merchandising on a budget, and how to create an organized system for managing your files and photos that fits the size of your business and ways of working.
“In the Making” is a public programs series where we connect with a range of new voices, fields, and perspectives. Learn more and view a full list of events on the series homepage.
