The Future of Shopping was a 12 week research project I undertook while I was at Philips Design. Two teams in Amsterdam and Singapore examined all aspects of the shopping experience. The resulting report, visual material and video were sold to various clients of Philips Design and used in the initiation of several other shopping related projects that will eventually result in a book by Philips Design.

The Online Catalogue research project was a short examination into types of online catalogs using a matrix broken down into four distinct categories. Using this matrix it is possible to map any website into some portion of the matrix which should fulfill user expectation. In other words, a boutique site such as Prada should be found under Innovative Experience as it exists simply to further the Prada brand. Amazon on the other hand should be found under Traditional Price as the site is a shopping portal where price and quick access are the main concerns. Charting user expectation and creating user scenarios during planning or redesign stages are good examples of understanding where one’s user experience needs to exist.
