The RealRealAug 2021 - Jun 2023 • 1 yr 11 mosAs part of our warehouse automation initiatives, I reimagined the receiving experience. This resulted in a decrease in average units per hour (UPH) with a cost savings of $0.12 per unit. I created interactive dashboards using data visualizations to communicate real-time status of our outbound operations. This allowed stakeholders to identity and redirect resources whenever service level agreements (SLAs) were at risk. I designed a guided SKU template that leveraged vision and machine learning technology. This enabled automatic generation of attributes and pricing for items. In Q1 we rolled this out to 40% of our marquee handbags, as a result we saw a 10.2% increase in UPH. As a lead designer, I provided mentorship to junior designers, helping them identify gaps in their UX knowledge and skill set required for promotion. Ensured that all my designs adhered to AA WCAG standards. Design lead on UX copy writing as required, ensuring the user experience is enhanced through effective and engaging copy. Collaborated with marketing and engineering stakeholders to align and integrate a design system during migration to React. ROI: As part of the 2024 profitability goal, I led warehouse automation initiatives, focusing on SKU and receiving projects. These efforts resulted in significant ARR savings (millions) and contributed to achieving positive EBITDA in March 2024.V
