Northside Marketplace
Only Steph Creations | Akron, OH
Northside Marketplace is a curated indoor market in Akron where Only Steph Creations has maintained a permanent retail presence since 2022. The challenge was to make a 2′ x 2.5′ footprint work as a fully branded, functional environment in a shared market space.
A slat wall system with moveable shelves keeps the display organized and functional within a compact footprint.
The sign above the display is designed to communicate the brand immediately to anyone passing through the market.
Each shelf is labeled with product type and price, making the display easy to navigate.
A short framed artist bio invites customers to connect with the person behind the work
Event Display System
Only Steph Creations | Multiple Venues
Vendor events typically give exhibitors a 10′ x 10′ space. The Only Steph Creations vendor display was designed to stand out in a busy environment, attract attention from a distance, and guide people through the space in a way that felt inviting, not cramped.
The tent banner combines the business name, artwork, and a product list to communicate the booth identity from across a crowded event.
Large-format portraits hung across the top are visible from outside the booth and designed to spark recognition and conversation.
A list of available portrait subjects gives browsers a quick reference and a reason to engage before committing to stopping.
The Z layout creates a natural traffic flow through the booth: the front table draws people in, the side table pulls them through, and the back wall gives them something to stop and react to.
Top-selling product is positioned at the entrance, with the logo runner reinforcing brand identity.
MGK Day, Cleveland 2024
Only Steph Creations (OSC) | Cleveland, OH
MGK Day is an annual large-scale public event drawing Machine Gun Kelly fans from across the country to his hometown of Cleveland, OH. Being selected as one of 35 exhibitors placed the OSC vendor display in front of a national audience and provided the highest-profile test of how the brand system performed at scale.
Aerial footage captured consistent crowd flow toward the OSC display throughout the day, proof of the brand’s success in a high-traffic, competitive setting.
The same display system that works in a neighborhood market translated directly to a nationally attended event without modification.
