In addition, she authored a comprehensive store design workbook entitled, "Designs that Move Minds & Merchandise."
A Wisconsin-registered interior designer, Ms. Falk serves on numerous business, educational and civic boards, and oversees the Sustainable Building Exhibit at Milwaukee’s Urban Ecology Center.
