Wellness and teens: Proposing a new Nike vertical

Valiant Labs is Nike's in-house innovation incubator. As lead Designer for my small nimble product team, Nike had tasked us with building digital product experiences to better connect with Teens.

Social media that's good for you

I conducted a Teen listening tour together with UXR, and through countless conversations I learned that 70% of teens cite issues with anxiety and depression. “Social media that’s good for you” became the team mantra, as I designed and built an experience grounded in AR wellness challenges integrating directly with Snap through Camera Kit SDK integration.

Integrating social AR: The Snapchat solution

The direction I landed on was an app for teens that served as the go-to place for all things wellness and stress relief, while seamlessly integrating into their daily routines through a viral loop created in partnership with Snapchat. I collaborated with Snap’s team through the entire process to build a product that pioneered their Story Kit and Camera Kit integrations into our platform, designing many of the AR experiences myself in Lens Studio.

A joy for teens, a win for Nike

I designed A/B tests optimizing conversion funnels and created the viral loop in and out of Snapchat using the Snap SDK tech. I collaborated with Researchers, Analysts, Project Managers, Neuroscientists, and a panel of science-backed Gen Z wellness experts to design experiences that meaningfully tackled teen stress and anxiety while proving viability for Nike’s business objectives.
