Challenge
At John Lewis, shoppers browsing Shark vacuums and wet cleaners were often overwhelmed by too many models, complex specs, and unclear differences between products. The goal was to design a self-serve touchscreen kiosk that made product selection easy, thus helping customers find the right product quickly with confidence.

Discovery & Strategy
I led a discovery workshop with Shark stakeholders to align on business goals and shopper pain points. Together, we built a logic framework to define key product decision drivers:
Corded vs. cordless
Pet hair performance
Budget and price tiers
Two clear user flows emerged:
Guided Mode for a step-by-step experience for users who wanted product recommendations. Browse Mode for a faster, free-form flow for confident shoppers exploring specs independently.
I discovered that product data inconsistencies were limiting filter accuracy, so I partnered with developers to enable dynamic and reliable product filtering.

UX Architecture
Flat navigation for ease and speed
Filter by need (e.g., pets, floor type)
Compare models side-by-side
Product cards with key specs and benefits
This structure reduced cognitive load, making exploration natural and intuitive.

Design Principles
The experience was grounded in three design principles:
Informative - Give enough detail to decide without overload
Engaging - Scroll, tap, and visuals built user attention
Personable - TOV and microcopy made content relatable

Design Execution
Using Figma, I designed high-fidelity wireframes optimised for in-store use:
Large tap targets for standing users
High contrast UI for visibility under store lighting
Modular product cards for quick scanning
Clear hierarchy to reduce decision fatigue
The modular design also allowed the kiosk to scale across future retail campaigns and product lines.

Testing & Iteration
I conducted usability testing on actual kiosk hardware in-store, observing real customer behaviour.
Key refinements included:
Repositioned CTAs for better reach and visibility
Simplified Guided Mode to reduce steps
Improved visual hierarchy on dense pages
Post-launch analytics confirmed the improvements: users spent more time engaging with the kiosk, yet completed purchases faster and with greater confidence.

What I learned
The dual‑mode flow balanced novice and confident shoppers, making product selection faster and more intuitive. By grounding the design in real in‑store behaviour and using a modular approach, we delivered a scalable retail tool that boosted confidence, reduced friction, and delivered measurable business results.
