TISHA’S QTEES
Maplewood Mall | Maplewood, MN
The Creative Brief
Tisha’s Qtees set out to create a space rooted in old-school street style—drawing inspiration from the bold, expressive energy of 90s-era graphics and culture. The goal was to bring that nostalgia forward in a way that felt authentic and full of personality, while still creating a cohesive retail environment. The challenge was to channel that raw, artistic influence without overwhelming the space—finding the balance between energy and intention.
The Results
We anchored the environment with a deep black foundation, creating strong contrast and giving the artwork room to take center stage. From there, we added custom, hand‑sprayed graphics—each carefully placed to introduce movement, layering, and rhythmic interplay throughout the space. The result is a highly expressive environment that reads as both artistic and immersive. Color and pattern travel across the walls in ways that draw the eye and foster a natural sense of flow, while still supporting the product displays and overall layout. It’s a space that feels alive—rooted in nostalgia, yet executed with a deliberate, contemporary point of view.
