As part of Subaru’s global site Redesign Team at agency of record Carmichael Lynch, I led IA and UX efforts—focused on navigation, design systems, and data-driven research—to shape the site’s architecture.

Project Overview: Global Site Redesign

Carmichael Lynch hired me to provide research, navigation and information architecture as a fountation for the overall Subaru site redesign. My expertise in research, navigation, and architecture laid the groundwork for Subaru’s website redesign.

Key Contributions

I leveraged the full UX process—from wireframes to content audits—to build the foundation of Subaru’s Design System. I led its initial setup and pattern categorization, and evangelized Design Systems through workshops and cross-team collaboration, ensuring adoption throughout the creative team.
I led the information architecture and navigation design, using card-sorting, digital analytics, and content strategy to optimize customer connections. The redesign focused on data-driven marketing, UX best practices, and streamlining a once disorganized global site into a cohesive, modern experience.
I conducted in-depth UX competitive analysis, heuristic evaluations, and detailed content audits across all Subaru digital properties. Through collaborative workshops and brainstorming sessions with cross-disciplinary teams, we shaped a user-centered vision for the brand’s digital experience.
