Unified EX/CX Architecture
What happens when you unify front-line employee tools with the user experience?
The Ask.
Create a responsive, site-wide integrated customer, store point-of-sale and customer care site (the first of it’s kind) and deliver phased design patterns including account, architecture and design consistency patterns.
The Challenge.
Integrating three verticals of customer website, in-store point-of-sale and customer care required significant and iterative design reviews with the client on a daily basis with various stakeholders. Delegation of roles and context of client feedback was critical in maintaining site consistency in interaction patterns. I identified early on the need for a site-wide architecture design that had until that point, been segmented by various product owners with non-transparent knowledge and fragmented decision making among requirements and agile teams.

Sketching the Experience
"Josh was able to immediately jump in and contribute on the landing pages, took a firm leadership and ownership for IA and creation for the sitemap. The sitemap were a key deliverable and contribution we needed to move forward with the client."
