Pinterest Buyable Pins

Role

Product Designer

Overview

Because of my extensive e-commerce experience at Apple working on their Online Store team, I was recruited to help bring e-commerce to Pinterest, the image search / social media / idea sharing platform. Working with a small team of product designers, we were able to gently integrate buyable pins into the Pinterest ecosystem.

WIRED wrote a great article on the project, if you care to read it:

My role within this team was primarily visual design, motion design, and prototyping across mobile, web, and tablet platforms, making sure that all the cross-functional stakeholders bought into the design.
