Cart Redesign & User Control

Problem

Users struggled to track, remove, and confirm items across pages, causing confusion and abandoned orders.

My Role

Process
  • Usability tests & interviews to map friction
  • Wireframes & prototypes (Figma)
  • Loop11 comparative/A-B tests
Solutions

  • Large red “X” for quick removal
  • “Clear Cart” action for bulk resets
Outcomes
  • Checkout errors dropped in internal tests
  • Faster task completion
  • Supported $60K+ multi-complex exclusive deals
Reflection

Clear, consistent controls at key moments boost confidence and conversion.

Problem

Users landed on appliance pages but rarely explored deeper; discoverability was low.

My Role

Initiated research and coordinated design iterations.

Process
  • A/B click testing & contextual inquiry

Reflection

Real-world observation + digital testing = interactions that move the needle.

Platform Usability & Tailored Workflows

Problem

Property managers needed scalable bulk-order workflows; legacy tools weren’t built for multi-unit ops.

My Role

Led research and co-design with managers and internal ops; partnered with dev for delivery.

Process

  • Cross-team reviews for scalability

Reflection

Tailoring digital tools to actual workflows converts enterprise clients.

Post-Purchase Usability & UX Audit

Problem

Limited understanding of the end-to-end journey created hidden friction points.

My Role

Led a comprehensive audit and post-purchase research program.

Process
  • Surveys + SEQ assessments
  • Tree tests & card sorting
  • Navigation & labeling improvements
Solutions
  • Refined menu taxonomy
  • Streamlined checkout steps
  • Continuous heatmap/analytics feedback
Outcomes
  • Improved discoverability and overall conversion flow
