E-commerce Website Redesign

MY ROLE

Associate Creative Director

YEAR

2020

Amana needed more than a visual refresh. The existing experience had to become easier to navigate, faster to build, and consistent across product categories. I led creative direction and UX for a ground-up redesign that translated the brand’s practical, dependable personality into a flexible digital system.

We first built it in React, then migrated it onto the AEM component library shared with Maytag. The result was a responsive experience built from reusable layouts, cards, navigation patterns, and product modules, giving customers a clearer path from discovery to purchase and giving the team a system that could scale.

Watch a 60-second walkthrough of the redesigned experience, showing how a clearer hierarchy, reusable patterns, and faster interactions brought consistency to a hard-working brand.
