Heading into the holiday + gifting season, I partnered up with VIRTUE Worldwide and Pinterest to design a custom microsite with 3 co-branded Gift Globes (with Macy's, Kohl's, and Lowe's). Pinterest came to the table with the concept of creating 3 uniquely branded "snow globes" that users could interact with to shop for recommended gifts, and access via sponsored pins on Pinterest. As a result, I worked with the team at VIRTUE to design the UX for shoppers visiting the site, and lead the UI design of all aspects of the microsite. As a finishing touch, I created a series of company-specific and holiday-themed illustrations for each branded snow globe scene within the site. Our main goal for the finished gift globes was to create the perfect interactive shopping and gifting experience leading up to the holidays.
