web design

I design for people. So, in order to convey the benefits of a complex product like a robot in a way that is simple to grasp, but also compells them to buy, means leveraging ecommerce marketing web design strategies as well as relatable story telling.

While at iRobot, I championed an initiative to conduct User Experience studies to better understand our customer's behavior on key web pages. It had been over two years since iRobot had done any such studies. By using the web service UserTesting, I learned what our customers were experiencing on the site and I created designs which effectively solved for specific user challenges. iRobot has since launched a wide-reaching initiative to continuously test and study the site going forward.

email design

I've been designing promotional emails for premium products for many years. I've attended countless summits and conferences with like-minded designers and marketers, and I've honed my skills in creating responsive, effective, compelling emails that perform well and are on brand.

 

iRobot - responsive email

As the iRobot brand evolved, promo emails began an evolution as well. It was an interesting challenge to balance revenue needs, brand changes, and the need to design for mobile. This email design is able to bridge all of those.

iRobot - responsive email

With my leadership and design, iRobot transitioned from single image emails to fully responsive emails, thereby getting up to speed with industry standards.

Before iRobot transitioned to responsive emails, single image emails were common practice. In this design I wrote the copy as well as created the design showing depth for interest. The in-setting image with the hero shot in the forefront is strategic to show detail and context.
