The challenge was to redesign an aging ecommerce and B2B website in a modern responsive framework while still providing full functionality for legacy browsers as far back as Internet Explorer 7
grandandtoy.com is very unique in that it serves as a destination for both consumers and B2B customers. It needed to be mobile and SEO friendly as well as fully functional and easy to use for our large numbers of business and enterprise clients on aging web browsers and retail kiosks.
As the Senior UX/Web Designer at Grand & Toy, I was tasked as the UX, UI, Design Lead. My contribution to this project was to gather business and technical requirements, survey subject matter experts and stakeholders, develop sitemaps, create wireframes, design mock-ups and prototypes, provide direction to the UI developer and .NET programmers, and support in the development of SASS/CSS.

In addition to working on the project, I was asked to develop a new pattern library and workflow for the marketing and creative departments, utilizing tools available internally. The new process was to include everything from the initial creative brief to final implementation on the site. Once developed I was responsible for training the marketing and creative departments on the new process and provide coaching and support.
