Lowe’s had the products, the stores and the expertise, but the experience was built around the transaction, not the home. Customers came in for a SKU and left with a receipt, and the next visit started from zero. We set out to redefine how Lowe’s shows up in people’s lives: a connected retail model that understands each customer’s home and goals, and meets them consistently on desktop, mobile, smart devices and in-store kiosks. The aim was to move Lowe’s from a place you shop to a partner in caring for your home.
I led product strategy and experience design for the future-state model, from the engagement framework through the end-to-end customer journey. I built the behavioral segmentation behind the four core customers (Thrifty Creative, Practical & Hands-on, Confident Standout, and Help Me Designer) and used it to shape what each one sees, when, and where. Working across data, analytics, content and technology teams, I defined how home data flows into an engagement engine, how that engine pulls from a shared content matrix, and how it shows up as services across every touchpoint. I directed the visual and interaction design across web, app and in-store, and made sure the experience felt premium, personal and unmistakably Lowe’s.
The results: 80% Home Profile completion, 8x higher engagement, and a 96 NPS.
