Converse

More than a destination, Converse.com is a platform for dialogue and collaboration—one that allows for effortless shopping while enabling discovery and cultivating relationships. A new site that better aligns with the brand vision: one as authentic, youthful, and daring as the people who champion it. 

This global makeover is the result of a 16 month-immersion, working side by side with the Converse design team from idea to execution.

I was one of three lead experience designers (who had the privilege of working with all those awesome team members—a lot, I know) responsible for the full redesign and re-platforming of Converse.com for the North America and EMEA markets launched in 2019.

Problem

During my time at R/GA, we were asked to:

  1. Design the first and best expression of the Converse brand and the most personal connection to the customer.

  2. Create the pinnacle of product storytelling.

  3. Enable a world class service experience.

  4. Also move the entire site off the Nike platform and onto Salesforce Commerce Cloud and rethink everything and fast. NBD.

Process

As an experience design lead, I was responsible for content strategy and interaction design across several key feature areas such as the Gridwall/Product Listing Page, Navigation, Checkout, Account, and more—creating a new Converse.com that provides shoes and clothes that let me be the realest version of myself and curated content that shows me how.

Outcome

We strategically created a seamless, social-first shopping platform and experience where customers and Converse fans can buy their favorites, discover new ones, and engage with the brand in a whole new way.
