Research & Data Stakeholder Management Product Design Strategy

Europe's second largest furniture retailer

Lutz is the largest furniture retailer in Austria, operating in over 23 countries across the EU. XXXLutz is a dominant player in the European furniture market and second biggest after IKEA.

I restructured the product detail page (PDP) impacting in a 21% increase in conversions

I developed the concept and strategy to improve navigation and engagement on the PDP, led negotiations across teams, and oversaw implementation. This resulted in a 21% increase in Add to Cart conversions and raised overall engagement.

I redesigned how users explore handover options

To enhance the omnichannel experience for delivery, pickup, and in-store availability, I led research, a one-week Design Sprint workshop, and several validation sessions. This resulted in a more intuitive experience, improving user satisfaction significantly.

Optimized the Reservations Flow, landing 15% more purchases in reserved products

I analyzed the reservations flow, identified data on key moments in the user journey, and discovered that changing the button wording could make a difference. After running an A/B test, we achieved a 12% increase in reservations and a 15% boost in reserved product sales revenue.

A lot of testing

To ensure our designs truly worked, we teamed up with the Customer Experience (CX) team and Data Analysts. Together, we run a mix of:

  • Moderated user tests every 1.5 months
  • Surveys to capture user opinions and trends.
  • Unmoderated tests for quick feedback loops.
  • Analytics and custom dashboards to track feature performance over time.

How we measure success

We used Google's HEART framework to measure how feature changes impacted Happiness, Engagement, Adoption, Retention, and Task success. This data-driven approach kept us grounded in user needs and business goals.

Learnings from the environment

I worked within a Scrum Agile structure, which taught me invaluable lessons about teamwork and collaboration.

Deep understanding of the tech side

Over time, I learned how back-end systems connect with the environment and worked closely with front-end developers to refine ideas and improve handoffs.

Navigating big company dynamics

I figured out how to turn ideas into reality in a big company: lots of pitching, clever presentations, chatting up the right people, and keeping stakeholders happy.

Facilitating and owning the product

Led workshops to align stakeholders and balance big-picture goals with user needs alongside the Product Owner.
