IKEA's Developer Portal

https://developer.inter.ikea.com/ (Not live)
IKEA's developer portal has not been updated for 2-3 years. There are many new apps that IKEA plans to open to global developers, like IKEA Meetings, IKEA Spaces, and IKEA AR Shopping. As a member of the UI team, I have been tasked with exploring different visual directions and designing the portal while maintaining IKEA's brand identity.

Key Highlights of Portal

Digital Hub

The IKEA Developer Portal is the digital hub for information about IKEA APIs and reusable digital components.

Contribute

It will allow IKEA co-workers and external developers to actively contribute to global initiatives and conceptualisation.

Work Together Globally

It will enable IKEA entities, partners, professionals, and individuals to work together and develop digital solutions.

My Role

- I led the design process of this project from the initial kick-off to final delivery for desktop, including responsive experience.
‍
- I worked with a large team of engineers from Sweden (backend and frontend), and my peer project manager.
‍
- Throughout the design process, I engaged in constant feedback loops with my fellow UX design & research colleagues, who challenged my ideas and helped to finalise ideas & solutions.

- While working on this project as a contributor, I also supported Skapa Design System in maintaining the brand identity, project objectives, and accessibility.
