Professional | Teamwork | 2020-2023 | LC Waikiki
LC Waikiki is a leading international retail brand from Turkey, renowned for its affordable clothing collections for adults and children. Here, I worked as a CX Specialist within the Customer Experience Management (CEM) team, dedicated to enhancing both physical and digital interactions (including an application, website, interactive kiosks etc.) in Turkey. As a UX/UI Designer for the Foreign Team, I concentrated on elevating experiences across international touchpoints.

Our Approach
Informed by user feedback collected through customer service interactions, on-site feedback tools, heatmaps, and research conducted by our teams, we (CEM) have pinpointed three critical areas for our initial focus:
-
Order tracking and return processes
-
Navigation
-
Filter function
Additionally, I have led diverse projects in Turkey and abroad, encompassing design systems, registration, personalisation, product listing, order details, and checkout processes, among others.
Analytics and user feedback have shown that these efforts have substantially enhanced usability, user engagement and sales while reducing customer efforts and interactions with customer service..

Order Tracking and Return Process
We provided clear components illustrating
-
the return and order process
-
complex order details
-
relevant information (e.g: rules, process, courier companies etc.)
-
error states
-
onboarding and more to improve the user experience.
We rectified the misalignment issue by establishing integrations with our stakeholders and other parties, ensuring sufficient information was provided to company departments and customers.
Additionally, we integrated the return reason to collect data and improve our product quality. Our primary objective was to guide customers through their entire return experience, minimising the need for customer service interactions by delivering tailored information specific to their journey.
Main pain points
-
Insufficient information about the complex orders (including multiple deliveries, partial cancellations, returns and undeliverable items) and return process
-
Lack of alignment between internal stakeholders
caused frustrations and reduced customer loyalty.

Usability tests
Over 5 tasks on both mobile and desktop platforms, and the existing flows were tested with 8 users aligned with our personas. Product images were included to the prototypes to support the users during the tests.

Mega Menu and Filter Function
Main pain points
Based on our research and user feedback, we identified challenges in accessing the Boys' segment under the Kids section within the mega menu. This initial problem prompted us to enhance the entire mega menu design and filter function as they were too cluttered and difficult to navigate.
Given LC Waikiki's extensive product range, providing a seamless online shopping experience depended on efficiently locating products and ensuring an engaging and intuitive shopping journey.
Our goal
Reducing cognitive load for users by eliminating repetition and unnecessary information and effectively utilising white space.
Solutions
We conducted collaborative meetings with stakeholders, including Research, Category, Development, and Product Teams. Leveraging previous data and research, competitor analysis and employing the Card Sorting method, we logically grouped and prioritised items and filters. This process was guided by input from our stakeholders, aligning with both business requirements and user needs.

Usability tests
To assess navigation, we created 2 desktop alternatives and 3 responsive versions, conducting tests involving 4 tasks for each. We also formulated 3 tasks specifically for evaluating the filter function across both desktop and responsive designs. Furthermore, we examined the existing versions with participants. Our prototypes underwent testing with over 15 users.
