Inside Apple Fifth Avenue, the glass spiral staircase framed by two living trees

Apple

Helping the world’s best product company shape its largest product: its retail stores.

I partnered with Apple Retail to lead the design of many of its internal operations tools used to run Apple stores worldwide.

As a fulltime employee (and later a contractor), I worked with Retail employees around the world, Retail leadership, Operations, Product Management, Engineering, and Design to design products and features for analytics, point-of-sale, logistics, merchandising, product demos, internal comms, training, device repair, and many more.

Obviously Apple is incredibly secretive, and I signed a hundred NDAs. So I can’t say much about the work. If you want to work with me and we get far enough along in conversation, I can share an image or two that won’t break my NDAs.
