01 / The opportunity

Upgrade the store without losing the service.

Men’s Wearhouse needed a more confident way to shop a dense assortment—without weakening the expertise of its store consultants.

Use the screen to guide the conversation.

01

Guide

Help consultants narrow the field.

02

Focus

Turn a wall of choice into a short list.

03

Match

Connect style and fit to a recommendation.

02 / The direction

Choose your own adventure shopping.

We began with 14 possible digital concepts. Through user testing, the team prioritized an interactive shirt wall: take a short style quiz, generate recommendations, compare a focused set of options, and choose what to try on, buy, or save to a customer profile.

One flow connected discovery to a store action.

The system moved from inspiration to recommendation while keeping try-on and the consultant relationship in view.

03 / Designed for everyone

Accessibility shaped the environment.

The shirt wall was designed for ADA compliance across seated and standing reach ranges. The control surface could move to meet the customer, keeping the same core experience available to people using wheelchairs as well as shorter and taller customers.

ADA compliance
One experience, flexible reach.

The interface position adapts without creating a separate or reduced path.

Reach study
Design the usable zone first.

The interaction stayed within reachable areas across different heights and mobility needs.

Spatial concept
The display lived with the merchandise.

Placement made digital guidance feel like part of shopping the wall, not a detached kiosk.

04 / Interaction system

A navigation model built for a wall.

A radial menu kept primary actions close to the customer’s touch point and reduced long trips across a large-format screen. States and transitions were designed together so the interface could stay legible while the surrounding merchandise remained the focus.

05 / Motion prototype

Make the recommendation feel rewarding.

The final motion language gave the result a sense of reveal while preserving a direct path to product. It brought energy to the experience without slowing down the customer or the consultant.

The result tied the customer’s answers to a clear recommendation that could be found and tried on in the store.

06 / Reflection

Good retail technology creates momentum.

My role as Creative Director at Valtech was to hold the concept, environment, interface, and motion together as one experience. The strongest outcome was a simple one: customers gained confidence, while store consultants gained a more useful way to guide the conversation.

The design made a large assortment feel personal—and made inclusion part of the system from the beginning.
