Should I Return These Shoes?

Part TWO of our three part series on Returns.

As a personal stylist for women, a big part of my job is creating wishlists of various sizes. Each client receives an Uber Wishlist of 35-45 items handpicked for her. The list is designed to communicate her authentic personal style, flatter her frame and be in a cohesive color palette that ensures every pieces plays nicely with the others.

I’ve been creating these wishlists for over a decade thanks to my second client, Heidi. Heidi, then a User Experience Designer at Nordstrom, didn’t want to go shopping in person and asked for another option. In an effort to come up with a solution that would meet the high standards of a UX Designer at one of our most beloved retailers, the Uber Wishlist was born. Prior to COVID, clients chose between in person shopping, Uber Wishlists and a hybrid approach. Since COVID, we focus on wishlists and skip in person shopping altogether.
