One of my most proud design moments was assisting a furniture company called Joybird Furniture out of Los Angeles where he was a lead customer experience designer and lead brand designer from company inception till after 18 months of the website going live generating about $35M in gross revenue. This also caught the eye of one of the world leaders in research-based user experience firms, Nielsen Norman Group. They wrote an article called, Instilling Confidence in Online Shoppers: I Bought a Sofa Online and Good UX Sealed the Deal - which summarizes “A stellar user experience focused on users’ question and needs can persuade shoppers to make big-ticket purchases online.”
