Bonanza

Product & Design, SEP 2016 — JUL 2020
As a designer at Bonanza, I contributed to strategic decisions and proposed ideas for improving products, marketing, and internal processes at Bonanza. I designed landing pages, emails, and other conversion-focused layouts, as well as user interfaces and user flows for key site features. As the main designer for Bonanza, I implemented improvements to our design process and looked for ways to enhance company culture.

My duties also encompassed creating digital illustrations ranging from icons on social media posts to customized character suites for landing pages. Additionally, I was responsible for all written content at Bonanza. I communicated with sellers through our blog, created informative help articles, wrote email copy, and created a copy style guide for others to use in the future. I also managed our graphic designer, providing copy edits for guest blog features and social media posts.
