2Three Shapes

Square tiles carried product, hero tiles carried photography, and vertical tiles bridged the two.

Editorial stories, brand modules, and merchandised picks all came through the same three tiles, and any combination of them came out looking designed.

3Three Homepages

A different homepage for each shopper.

The young customer landed on Savvy Mag, the designer-brand shopper got Summer to Fall styling, and the men's shopper opened on city essentials. All of them were built from the one set of tiles.

Nordstrom men's homepage for the men's shopper, High City Essentials editorial with eyewear, men's designer modules, and selected for you product grid
Nordstrom women's homepage for the designer-brand shopper, Summer to Fall Style editorial with Kate Spade pumps and selected for you product grid

The customer never saw the rules

5Product Shots

White seamless, no props, one shadow throughout. The same shoe could run in a Saturday editorial story and a Sunday inventory clear-out and look planned in both places.

Consistent eye level, deliberate contrast, precise angles. With no styling to look at, the merchandise read first.

6In an Afternoon

Three shapes and one library of pictures, with every picture used more than once.

The tiles ran the homepage, campaign sends, and the long tail of category pages.

How it starts

A real conversation and a brainstorm, and a direction we both agree on. The work moves quickly from there.

What I take on

The brand, the thing people use, and the back of house that keeps it running. Not just a handoff, and not just a tool.

When it's done

A brand, a piece of software, a room. None of them are ever really done. There's a time to launch, let it sit, see how people use it, and decide what's next. You can't keep working on it in the background forever.

The homepage is three columns now: the wordmark left, the sentence and the question in the middle, the address right. They sit on the nav bar rather than under it, so the bar carries the page's own type instead of a strip of empty rule. Everything came down to two sizes, 32 and 12, inside a 50px frame on all four sides.
