UX/UI: Optimizing Product Discovery for Cross-Border Shopping

User research revealed Chinese customers frequently shared product screenshots with overseas friends and family. We redesigned the product pages to collapse elements on scroll, condensing more information into a single screenshot.

My impact: Made an online change that streamlined in-store product searches, improving customer satisfaction and sales efficiency. Increased the likelihood of customers finding and purchasing the right travel products.

Learnings: Adapting UX to specific cultural behaviors, like screenshot sharing, is crucial in creating effective global omnichannel eCommerce solutions. This project underscored the value of user research in driving impactful design decisions.
