What I did

I led the experience strategy and design for the Home Improver platform, which connects IKEA customers with vetted tradespeople such as decorators and plumbers. This project involved significant design challenges, as the marketplace model diverges from IKEA's traditional operations. I focused on proposition design, customer journey mapping, and service model development to ensure the platform felt native to the IKEA brand. The platform has successfully launched in Spain and is currently scaling globally.
