Macy’s Principal Designer Interview Exercise, 2018
I created this concept in 2018 as part of the interview process for a Principal Designer role at Macy’s. I didn’t get the job.
In retrospect, that worked out just fine. The role would have required me to move to San Francisco, which I wasn’t particularly excited about doing anyway.
I kept the work, though, because I still believe the thinking behind it was strong. The approach felt somewhat unconventional at the time, and it’s interesting to look back at it now, when many of the ideas behind connected, cross-channel product experiences have become much more mainstream.
And I still think it was a damn good test.
