Wish


World’s most-downloaded e-commerce app at the time with 73M+ monthly active users and annual revenue of $1.9B. I led the designs for the product recommendation experience for Fulfillment by Wish (FBW)—our launch led to $34M+ in related GMV and 1.8M+ orders.
FBW was an initiative that enabled merchants on our platform to store inventory in domestic warehouses to expedite international shipping. I was responsible for designing the landing page and user experience, identifying key user flows, creating original illustrations, developing a custom logo, and producing a full suite of marketing assets including banners and icons for merchant-facing features.

You can also learn more about my internship experience through my blog post, featured on Wish’s Engineering And Data Science Blog. There, I detail the valuable lessons, insightful takeaways, and projects I spearheaded. 

Ultimately, a total of 50K+ shipments were made to our international warehouses following the approval of thousands of merchant applications through our FBW platform launch. I also revamped and presented our team’s new design system as well as created custom team merch.
