Elevated Experiences is lululemon’s end-to-end digital initiative focused on connecting guest needs with product innovation. The goal is to design consistent, high-impact touchpoints across the guest journey—from discovery to decision-making—that build confidence, deepen product understanding, and drive meaningful conversion.
By aligning digital storytelling with our assortment strategy, we strengthened brand credibility, increased category awareness, and supported growth across key franchises.
Project Goal
How might we create a leggings shopping experience that makes guests feel more informed and confident—ultimately increasing engagement and add-to-cart?
To support this vision, I focused on:
Simplifying product education so guests can quickly differentiate fabrics, fits, and performance features.
Building a seamless end-to-end flow that reduces friction for guests comparing styles.
Driving category growth by elevating franchise storytelling and reinforcing lululemon’s leadership in performance apparel.
Key Considerations
Modular & Flexible: The experience needed to adapt across multiple product lines, support new franchises, and scale to future campaigns.
Test-Ready Framework: Components were intentionally designed to support iterative A/B testing—messaging, visual hierarchy, and layout patterns could be optimized without major redesigns.
Consistent Storytelling: Messaging, imagery, and education were aligned across the digital ecosystem to strengthen clarity and reinforce guest confidence.
lululemon Elevated Leggings Experience
Existing User flow
Our existing flow showed that the only product education we provide on leggings is currently located on PDPs. The is 3 clicks into the user journey just for any education. CDP promo tiles do have some education but mostly marketing material.
Research
Conducted user testing on the current experience on usertesting.com
Virtual focus groups with Guest Educators to understand how a guest shops in store for leggings, influencing an omnichannel experience.
Pain points & Opportunities for improvements
Our CDP has the most traffic but yet we don’t have any education on the current page
Guests expected and want to have education before entering PDP
Current experience lacks the ability to quickly compare leggings and which is why guests jumping in-between CDP & PDP
Guests enjoy shopping for leggings by activity
Wireframes
Collaborated with developers on how we can best build this experience in a component based CMS utilizing our current design system.
Improved User flow
Improved experience would provide guests education at an earlier point in the purchasing journey.
Allows guests to compare franchises, filter for a more personalized experience and ultimately feel more confident in their purchase.
Hi Fi Designs
I leveraged existing styles from our Design System to build the competitive guide. Thinking about how we might show Fabric and speak to Feel through visual content. Adding motion to show each franchise in movement and working with brand to cast models of all sizes/colours
Results
Since launching on desktop we estimate a $1.4M WIN based on +1.60% lift in Add to Cart at 99% confidence
Featured in Bloomberg for showing product in all shapes and sizes
Reusing the components within this experience to elevate other CDPs.ie. Mens Pants and soon to be the Bras page
Lessons & Next Steps
Iterating from User Testing & A/B testing results
How can we make this experience more accessible
Improving our video component by adding controls/accessibility audit
Shared learnings with app team - working in collaboration to get this live on app
Can we leverage animation in app to make this experience more delightful
