P&G - Olay

Redesigning discovery and checkout for a high-traffic consumer commerce experience.

Using analytics, Lighthouse performance analysis, UX evaluation, and iterative design, I helped redesign key Olay.com discovery, product, and checkout journeys. The work balanced brand, performance, usability, and conversion and contributed to $3.6M in year-over-year revenue impact.

Improving the complete purchase journey

Product discovery, performance, usability, and checkout were connected parts of the same purchase journey. I combined analytics, UX evaluation, and iterative design to understand where the Olay experience was getting in the way, balancing brand and conversion.

The redesign treated discovery, product presentation, performance, and checkout as one connected customer journey.

Reducing checkout friction

Google Analytics and an expert UX review helped investigate checkout friction and cart abandonment. Iterative designs clarified the path to purchase, in partnership with the Product Owner, Business Analyst, and development team.

Before-and-after analysis helped identify unnecessary friction in the path to purchase and clarify the redesigned checkout experience.

Performance is part of the experience

Lighthouse analysis made performance a concrete part of the design conversation. The performance score improved from 26 to 74 as the team addressed the experience beyond its visual interface.

What I learned

…

This project was a valuable opportunity to develop strategic communication skills and build trust with stakeholders in a large, complex organization. Transitioning from smaller companies where speed was the norm, I learned to adapt my approach, embracing patience and rapport-building to navigate a highly politicized environment. This experience strengthened my ability to connect with diverse teams and deliver impactful contributions, even amidst initial challenges. I’m proud of the progress we achieved and the personal growth I gained in effectively tailoring my communication to drive successful outcomes.
