We had a great visit at Cuhaci Peterson this week!

Sarah Chung, a UCF Emerging Media student majoring in Animation & Visualization, joined us to shadow designers Jason Gao and Jenna Stellmack and see how ideas take shape in a professional setting.

Sarah reached out through her Professional Practices course, which encourages students to learn directly from industry professionals. With a passion for design and visual development, she brought great curiosity and thoughtful questions.

We love helping students bridge the gap between classroom learning and their future careers.
Thank you, Jason and Jenna, for sharing your time and experience, and thank you, Sarah, for visiting. We can't wait to see where your creativity takes you!

A day in the life of a Construction Administrator means getting out of the office and into the field.

Our team recently visited Colonial Marketplace Plaza for a site visit and training session, reviewing construction progress, working through details in the field and seeing firsthand how the drawings translate to the job site. From structural openings and fire-rated assemblies to MEP coordination, there’s always something to learn along the way.

Thanks to FMI and everyone who joined the conversation. We’re always glad to connect with industry peers and talk about what’s next for store development.
