This was a farewell blog post I created back in February 2019, which I am only publishing now. Hehe oops! :) Read along for a glimpse of what I’ve worked on while at UO.
For the past 3 years, Urban Outfitters has always been good to me! Working at the flagship store here in Vancouver has been a great experience, especially alongside the chillest managers and co-workers 🤘🏻 What I liked the most is that I enjoyed and learned different areas of the business from talking to customers, selling merch, folding clothes (dropfolding is 💯), packing orders, unpacking boxes, merchandising, and sharing creative ideas.
Sharing some photos of the mini creative projects I was involved in:
• wearing UO merch (Kanken bag anyone? HAHA)
• taking a few product shots for the UO Vancouver IG
• assisting with store display (painting walls, drilling things, nailing things, hanging things, and taping things) *also hello to 12 ft ladders!!! no joke
• assisting with visuals and window display (putting up wallpaper, window film, and graphics)
It’s not your typical customer service/retail job — that I can say.

I honestly loved working here at UO! (some co-workers may disagree hahah) I think what really helped was having opportunities to be involved in creating things inside and outside the store, and not just talking to customers and selling merch. I’m lucky to have worked with such a cool company during my university years! Thanks UO, it’s been a blast!
