Bergdorf Goodman: Enterprise App Replatforming & Digital Transformation

Orchestrating a cross-functional launch to modernize the luxury mobile commerce experience.


As Senior Manager of Product Design, I led the high-stakes replatforming of the Bergdorf Goodman iOS app. This was not merely a visual update, but a complete technical and strategic overhaul. I synchronized efforts between UX/UI, engineering, and content strategy teams to deliver a modernized, scalable commerce platform that maintained the brand’s prestigious heritage while meeting modern technical standards.

Cross-Functional Orchestration

Acted as the primary bridge between the creative vision and technical execution, fostering a collaborative environment where engineering constraints informed, rather than hindered, the design process.

Scaling Brand Consistency

Implemented scalable design systems and pattern libraries to ensure the app could evolve post-launch without losing brand integrity.

Driving Business Growth & Usability

Focused on mobile optimizations that streamlined the conversion funnel, ensuring that the "modernized" experience directly translated into improved user engagement and revenue.
