Gift Curator
After engaging in a couple of steps, and through an illustration-driven interface, a user was provided with suggestions for curated gift options for the holidays.
Partnership-based Product Design
The reality of media companies and content is one that must exist in the relationship between platform, user, and partners. Editorial and media platforms need not only dedicated teams to produce this content, but must design their platforms and tools with the scalability that will allow them to create content in this way.
Mobile Experiences
The goal with these products is simple: build fast and reuse. In order for a product to achieve the proper return of investment, it must be customizable enough to stand as a unique product of its own each time.
Product teams (design + engineers + producers + product managers) benefit from structuring their teams and products in such a way that allows teams outside of the product org. to easily and readily present these options to potential partners.
