CHANEL’s beauty membership program, La Collection, was designed to enhance customer engagement by offering exclusive rewards for beauty product purchases. As a Designer on the CHANEL Tech team, I spearheaded the mobile user experience for the Korean market, which has over 200,000 existing users. I was responsible for designing key pages and the sign-up process, with the goal of creating an interface that was both culturally appropriate and seamlessly integrated with CHANEL’s global branding.

The global design guidelines were optimised for English, making the AS-IS version feel unnatural when applied to the local market

Challenge

The global design guidelines were not optimised for Korean characters, requiring adjustments for a more polished and functional local experience. Additionally, Korea’s sign-up process differed significantly from other markets, with legal requirements such as mobile number verification and additional consent for marketing purposes. These complexities made it essential to create a localised design framework while maintaining CHANEL’s high-end brand image.

Due to legal and NDA restrictions, the design guidelines I developed cannot be publicly disclosed

Approach

Outcome

The new design successfully integrated CHANEL’s global branding with the specific needs of the Korean market, creating a seamless and legally compliant user experience. By addressing usability issues and regulatory challenges, the updated membership flow improved accessibility, engagement, and overall customer experience for hundreds of thousands of users.
