01 User Research

Hypothesizing that other SSENSE customers face the same pain points I often do with online retail, I proceeded with user research, including surveys and market research.

02 Storyboarding — Pain Points

Based on the aforementioned user research I conducted, I began to develop and analyze SSENSE’s customer journey through both desktop and mobile user experiences.

Pain Points

  • Users are hesitant to purchase a piece because they are not sure it will fit. Common solutions here include posting on Reddit to ask how it fit on other users.

  • Users often find that the garment they order does not fit like they assumed it would, so they end up returning it, decreasing user conversion rate.

  • Users are hesitant to purchase pieces they are not sure would fit with the rest of their wardrobe.

  • Users want instantaneous feedback regarding styling and sizing.

  • Returns don’t align well with SSENSE brand values regarding sustainability.
