About the project.

The Work is an innovative digital platform that houses over 200,000 pieces of creative work, providing curated playlists, brand and agency spotlights, and more. This platform is intelligently organised, making it easy for businesses to access the world’s top creative projects, whether by accolade, industry, geography, or brand. 

By framing each piece of work with its context and insights, The Work enables creatives and marketers to collaborate, conduct research, and make smarter decisions—transforming creative history into a powerful tool for the future.

Challenge.

I joined The Work team right as they were undergoing a major rebrand and website overhaul. As the Lead Designer, I faced the challenge of redesigning 100% of the website while also adding new sections to accommodate more content—all within a couple of months. The goal was to improve the overall visual appeal and create a seamless user experience for navigating this massive database of creative work.

Key challenges included:

  • Conducting research to identify which pages and sections to keep or update.
 
  • Designing an improved search experience to help users find specific content across the site’s vast library.
 
  • Collaborating with the development team, content creators, and stakeholders to redefine the web structure and add new sections.
 
  • Developing a new style guide and design system to align with the rebranding.
 
  • Preparing the website to accommodate over 20k+ new campaigns.

Solution.

After aligning with the various teams and understanding the full scope of the project, we took the following steps to meet the ambitious deadline:

  • Prioritized key sections of the website for the rebranding process.

  • Developed wireframes for new components and sections, including the Webinars, Classic and Daily Inspiration pages.

  • Created a distinct search experience to help users find the right content for their needs.

  • Designed a new navigation structure to support the growing content and to be implemented across all brand websites.

  • Redesigned the payment page to introduce new payment plans for Individuals and Businesses.

  • Implemented a new full-width grid layout for the Daily Inspiration page.

  • Conducted thorough testing and made necessary adjustments within the 60-day deadline.
