Elevating design and customer engagement at a global footwear and apparel retailer

Revamped design culture at a retail giant, bridging design and business for a 500% boost in product development speed, shipped a new loyalty rewards program and nation-wide POS system.


This project was multifaceted: we aimed to integrate design more closely with business processes to enhance product development agility and also to launch a new loyalty rewards program.


The goal was to transform design from a traditionally isolated function into a central, strategic component of the business, aligning it with key operational processes. This shift was designed to not only increase morale, streamline operations and improve product outcomes but also to deepen customer engagement and loyalty.


The launch of the loyalty rewards program was a significant part of this strategy, aimed at fostering a stronger connection with customers and enhancing their overall experience with the brand.
