During Covid-19 I began working from home more frequently and began experimenting with animated Gifs.
The result was a mind blowing mix of multimedia designs, I began to create just about anything I thought of,
I have since created dozens and dozens of these Gifs.

Trendit is a real-time sales support, in-depth global retail market analysis, data analytics, sustainability engagement & design innovation services. The first US-based Trendit office opened in Bentonville, Arkansas in 2021.​
I worked with the Trendit sales team in the design and development for their Lookbook platforms. I designed and developed Trendits Activewear platform, Kids Juniors denim platform, Mens + young mens denim platform, Women's denim platform, Intimates paltform, and Mens underwear platforms.
​
The Lookbook/ platforms are designed as an alternative to the digital page flipping Lookbook Trendit had used in the past. By using this new digital experience the sales team has an opportunity to showcase their collection lines is a fast and efficient way. To showcase the content for these platforms in a clean and simple way, I developed a digital showroom page where the buyer can easily click and get instant access to the category they want to see.
This digital experience was created to grow alongside the Trendit sales team as they expand in the following years and has been a highly and successful presentation tool.
My first example is the Activewear platform. There are a total of 5 category pages including Leggings, Shorts, Sports bra, Tank tops and T-shirts. I've added 2 sample pages below and the Digital Showroom page.
The buyer starts off at the Digital Showroom page by clicking on the desired category.
Leggings page
Sports bra page

I created a similar design for the Kids juniors platform. I kept my digital showroom page simple and added the categories that would be displayed. The client asked to see more of the texture of the denim, I then decided to add small buttons next to each garment. Once clicked on the garment appears large on page allowing the buyer to carefully see the texture in a much larger view. I also added a feature to the garment that allows the buyer to hover the mouse over the garment, once hovered over the back of the image appears.
Front of garment is clearly visible on page.
When hovered over with mouse, back of jean is instantly seen.
When top button is clicked on the front of garment expands in size allowing buyer to get a better view.
When bottom button is clicked on the back of garment expands in size allowing buyer to get a better view.
The buyer starts off at the Digital Showroom page by clicking on the desired category.
H+M page
Old Navy page
Expanded platform design included Intimates, Women’s Denim, Men’s and Young Men’s Denim, as well as Men’s Underwear.
In addition to garment platform design, I collaborated with the TERRAMETTA sales team on the design development and execution of dozens of retail market reports. See top sample.
