“My career has focused heavily on marketing displays,” said Lewis. “Working in the industry’s trade show sector helped me better understand client needs and the trends impacting their businesses. It was the perfect preparation for my move to IDD.

InStore Display Design will continue to strengthen its customer-centric focus and explore new technologies to better serve our clients display needs.”
