This site is still in alpha phase, but published to show the new face. I'm actively working to iron out bugs, rewrite, pour in content (PDFs, videos, slideshows, images) and improve and polish things.

Problem

Macy's needed an internal collaboration platform within the MyMacys.net portal to foster employee i ovation, enable project coordination, and create community engagement through ideation and social features.

What I Did

Designed Macy's Idea Center interface integrating multiple collaboration features | Created mockups showing blogs, ideation forums, project coordination, and social features | Developed statistics and challenge components to drive engagement

Impact

Demonstrated how portal could evolve beyond static content to active collaboration | Provided vision for employee innovation and community engagement platform | Created foundation for internal crowdsourcing and idea management within Macy's

Lessons

Internal collaboration platforms succeed when they provide multiple engagement modes—not everyone participates the same way, so offering forums, blogs, challenges, and coordination tools increases adoption across diverse employee populations. Mockups of Macy's Idea Center (MIC) collaboration space on MyMacys.net portal, featuring blogs, project coordination, ideation forums, social features, idea challenges, statistics and more.
