Final Thoughts

I started working for KIKO on their 2019 e-commerce and app redesign, cultivating a lasting relationship centred on enhancing customer experience. Our close work with the e-commerce team allowed us to test and iterate solutions across global markets.

This partnership culminated in the 2023 new redesign, that I led as sr. designer. I'm proud of being part of the growing success of these digital products, and of the valuable lessons gained.
