I’m happy you’re here!

My name is Tala Dababna. I’m a store designer for Nike Global’s Retail Team. My work mainly focuses on large-scale retail environments and immersive concept and story designs, where I love dreaming up bold, playful ideas and bringing them to life through spacial design, brand strategy, storytelling, and immersive environments. I graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture with a minor in Real Estate Development.

Post grad, I’ve had the opportunity to design the Basketball retail world for Nike along with supporting the Training world. I have also developed a conceptual future vision for Nike’s bra and leggings. During my time at the University of Michigan, I co-directed the Taubman Architecture Ball into a story-driven immersive experience, and co-found the AIAS chapter at U-M, which grew into a 120+ member community. Collaboration, curiosity, and experimentation drive my work, and I’m excited by opportunities that merge art direction, retail strategy, and experiential design.
