C.F SHOWROOM

Service Design
DESIGN CHALLENGE (HMW)
How might we empower online retailers to deliver tactile, in-person experiences that build trust and engagement, without the long-term commitment of a full retail footprint?
My Role
I collaborated with the team to execute user research, synthesizing insights on customer behavior, draft service blueprints, and map out the showroom experience. I also contributed to designing the customer journey and helped shape the strategic value proposition; ensuring that both retailers and customers benefited from the hybrid model.

PROJECT TOOL KIT:
Primary and secondary Research, collaboration, Miro, Figjam, Visual communication, Experience mapping, Empathy mapping.

For CF Toronto Eaton Centre, one of North America’s busiest retail destinations with 50+ million visitors annually, we envisioned a service model that redefines the experience for both frequent shoppers and first-time visitors. Through foresight research, co-creation, and storytelling, we reframed retail as an experiential ecosystem where physical space and digital touchpoints work together to create meaningful, future-ready engagement
