Wish

World’s most-downloaded e-commerce app at the time with 73M+ monthly active users and an annual revenue of $1.9B.

I designed the product recommendation experience for Fulfillment by Wish (FBW)—an initiative that enabled merchants on our platform to store inventory in domestic warehouses to expedite international shipping. Our launch led to $34M+ in related GMV and 1.8M+ orders on the Platform team.

I was responsible for designing the landing page, defining the user experience, identifying key user flows, creating original illustrations, developing a custom logo, and producing a full suite of marketing assets including banners and icons for merchant-facing features.
