Since joining River Island in Feb 22, I have been an integral part of the UX team, focusing on the digital side of the business. Initially, my role centered around enhancing the Post Purchase journey. Later, I transitioned to the Transact tribe, where my primary focus became the Purchase and Checkout journey.I contributed to significant projects such as the Guest Checkout Initiative, checkout re-platforming, and checkout optimisation, showcasing my expertise in driving impactful user experiences throughout the transaction portion of the customer’s journey. I have also worked on a range of projects outside of checkout, including a redesign of the Wishlist Feature and collaborating with the sustainability team on discovery and research for the River Island clothes recycling scheme.

What I do

The Transact Tribe mission is to provide a frictionless, informative and simple experience to see customers through their purchase and beyond. To do this, I engaged with users at multiple stages of each initiative was a must - in order to keep them at the center of focus always. Throughout all of my projects, I have worked cross-functionally with Product, User Research, Data & Insight, Content Design, Design System and Engineering teams.
