A product page fit for a queen

Part of a long term redesign of Freebird's site, a "horizon project." I led the vision and the work to take the highest leverage page, the product page, from outdated to modern.

Overview

A horizon project, one page at a time

Freebird's site redesign was a long term, multi team effort. Rather than boil the ocean, we narrowed focus and tackled the product page first, the page that does the most commercial work. As lead, I owned the product vision and thinking, partnering with a PM, three backend developers, a UX researcher, and stakeholders from Marketing, eCommerce, and Social.

"Big redesigns die in scope. We picked the one page that mattered most and made it undeniable."

Process

Buy in, audit, then design

1

Competitive analysis

Studied how the best retail product pages convert, building the evidence base to align stakeholders before any pixels moved.

2

Secure stakeholder buy in

A redesign this visible needed agreement across Marketing, eCommerce, and Social. I made the case so research could turn into design.

3

Audit the current page

Documented exactly what was outdated and the specific updates the page needed, a clear, prioritized punch list.

4

Redesign the critical screens

Reworked the product page (and related critical pages) against the new direction, aligned to the design system.

Before

Here's what outdated looks like

The audit made the gaps obvious, and gave us a concrete list of updates to make.

After

What modern looks like

The redesigned product page is cleaner, more confident, and built to convert, with clearer hierarchy, stronger imagery, and a layout aligned to the new design system.

Reflection

What I took from it

The biggest lever wasn't visual, it was focus. Picking one high impact page and building consensus around it turned a stalled "redesign everything" ambition into shipped progress. Leading the vision also meant doing the unglamorous work, the competitive analysis and the stakeholder conversations that make design possible.
