My Contributions
I worked on the design of Crate & Barrel's e-commerce website for the Dubai market.I spent two months in Dubai framing the project with the client through a design thinking approach. Each morning was dedicated to structured workshops, with clear objectives to align stakeholders, explore user needs, and define the right direction for the project.

Use case - Design thinking

How can we help customers make the right choices?

Over three months, I worked with a multidisciplinary team to run design thinking workshops with the client and selected users. Our goal was to understand their needs, identify pain points, and improve the online shopping journey.We also conducted interviews directly in stores, with the support of store managers, to gain first-hand insights into customer behavior and purchasing decisions.
This collaborative approach helped us involve key stakeholders, draw on their expertise, and validate design decisions together.
The insights informed our buyer personas and customer journey maps, allowing us to validate the information architecture and user flows with the client before development began.
