6thStreet is a leading eCommerce platform offering a diverse range of fashion brands. One of the primary challenges in online shopping is ensuring customers select the right size, as sizing standards vary across brands. To address this, I developed an AI-powered feature called "Can't Find Your Size?" that guides users in selecting their optimal fit based on personalized inputs.
Many users face ongoing challenges due to inconsistent sizing standards across different brands, which often results in confusion during the selection process. This lack of uniformity contributes significantly to high return rates, as customers frequently receive items that do not fit as expected. Over time, these negative experiences can erode trust and reduce overall confidence in the online shopping experience, ultimately impacting customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.
This feature provides users with personalized size recommendations by leveraging an intelligent algorithm that considers brand-specific size variations. Users enter their height, weight, and age, and the system predicts the best size for them based on brand-specific sizing patterns.
25% reduction in size-related return rates, decreasing logistical and operational costs.18% increase in conversion rates for users engaging with the feature.
30% higher customer confidence in size selection (measured via post-purchase surveys).
40% of users who struggled with sizing used the feature to make a purchase decision.
User engagement with the feature increased by 50% in the first three months after launch.
Positive feedback from users in qualitative surveys highlighted the ease and effectiveness of the feature.
Future Enhancements & Next Steps
Expansion to more data points: Incorporate additional user inputs such as body shape and fit preference (loose, regular, or tight fit).Enhanced AI learning: Improve machine learning models by integrating AI-driven feedback loops from return reasons.Multi-language support: Provide multilingual assistance to improve accessibility for diverse user bases.Integration with AR sizing technology: Explore the potential of augmented reality (AR) for an even more personalized shopping experience.
The goal is to aim provide user-centric and efficient solutions;
Increase User Engagement: Introduce an exciting and interactive way for customers to interact with the app.
Boost Conversion Rates: Encourage purchases by offering rewards and discounts tied to specific conditions.
Ensure Scalability: Build a system flexible enough to adapt to varying country-wise rules, promotional strategies, and reward types.
Designed a gamified rewards system to boost user engagement by analyzing competitors and user behavior. Developed configurable reward types and rules (e.g., timing, frequency), built probability-based logic to ensure fairness, and crafted an intuitive scratch-and-win UI. Ensured seamless cross-platform functionality and collaborated with backend teams to integrate Magento for coupon validation, with thorough testing across regions and expiry scenarios.
The Scratch and Win feature provided users with a fun, engaging, and rewarding shopping experience, transforming the typical e-commerce journey into an interactive activity. By offering instant rewards such as discounts, cashback, and free items, it incentivized purchases while fostering excitement and anticipation. Users appreciated the transparency and fairness of the feature, with customizable rules ensuring equal opportunities for everyone. The seamless integration across platforms (app and PWA) allowed users to redeem rewards effortlessly, enhancing convenience and satisfaction. Ultimately, this gamified experience not only made shopping more enjoyable but also created a sense of value and exclusivity, encouraging repeat visits and loyalty to the platform.

As a Product Designer at 6thStreet, a prominent fashion e-commerce platform in the GCC region, I took ownership of redesigning the Product Listing Page (PLP) and product card components. The objective was to elevate the user experience, align the interface with evolving market standards, and drive measurable improvements in user engagement and conversion rates.
Behavioral data revealed that
Key product information was getting lost due to visual clutter and inconsistent hierarchy on product cards.Lack of urgency or incentives to convert quickly.
PLP designs didn’t clearly differentiate discounted or time-sensitive products.
Bounce rate on PLP was higher than industry benchmark.
Users often couldn’t distinguish between full-price and discounted items at a glance.
To gain a deeper understanding of market expectations and user psychology, I conducted:
Competitive benchmarking across key regional and global e-commerce players (e.g., Namshi, Farfetch, Ounass etc).
Heuristic evaluation of 6thStreet’s existing experience.
Heatmaps & clickstream analysis using analytics tools.
Quick user interviews with fashion-savvy consumers.
Key Insights Identified:
Visual hierarchy must direct attention to discounts and urgency features.Competitors utilized badges and micro-copy effectively to highlight exclusive perks.
Overuse of text blocks was causing cognitive load.
Strengths of 6thStreet:
Clean layout with visually clear product cards.
Strong discount highlight ensures deals stand out.
Quick view option enhances user convenience.
Opportunities for Improvement:
Add category tags like About You to better guide users.
Enhance luxury appeal similar to Ounass for premium categories.
Include ratings and reviews prominently, like Shein or Trendyol.
Inspiration from Competitors:
Namshi: Emphasis on fast delivery and customer satisfaction.
About You: Highlight eco-conscious products and sustainability.

Design Suggestions:

Quick View Option: Retain the quick view feature, as it's a common feature in most competitive apps and improves user experience.
Product Name Visibility: Ensure product names are fully visible and prominent below the image, similar to Farfetch and About You.
Category Tag: Add subtle category tags in a small font below the image, like Farfetch or Nykaa, to enhance navigation.
Color Options Display: Adopt swatches below the image for color options instead of dropdowns, as used by Farfetch and Myntra.Unique Features: Highlight free shipping, local delivery, or sustainability prominently to stand out, like Namshi or About You.
