tentree

tentree is a fast growing eco-friendly apparel startup. Sold in stores like REI, tentree appeals to “environmental-ish” customers — people who want environmentally conscious apparel, but not at the expense of fit and style.

tentree's overarching problem was unused capacity:

• Their website had beautiful design and product photography, due to talented in-house art direction. And while it sold well enough in spite of being unoptimized, there was a lot of room for improvement

• There was no in-house conversion rate optimization work being done. They were essentially coasting on traffic created created by social media

• Credibility indicators such as customer photography on social, 5-star reviews, and press acclaim were abundant, but were not integrated into the user experience

• Their blog received millions of uniques from search, but the traffic was not translating into sales, to the point where they were considering shutting it down

Over the last 14 years, I have worked with and for companies such as Expedia, Xbox, Apple, and Intel to elevate the user experience of their applications and websites.I love to be in dialogue with clients, working live, in-person, using whiteboard and paper. I use design to show, ask, and envision, and to help stakeholders explain, react, and choose.
