THE OPPORTUNITY

Reimagining how ad strategists manage performance at scale

As Pattern's advertising business expanded across thousands of SKUs, campaigns, and marketplaces, our original Destiny platform couldn't keep up. Teams relied on scattered tools, manual workarounds, and outdated mental models to manage their budgets and strategies.

We saw an opportunity to build a new system-one that offered clarity, control, and guided action.

MY ROLE

Lead Product Designer – Destiny 2.0

  • UX strategy, systems thinking, and full redesign
  • Partnered with PM, Engineering, Data Science, and Ad Strategy teams
  • Drove cross-functional alignment across business, design, and dev

WHAT WE BUILT

A redesigned platform grounded in strategy, not just surfaces

We didn't just clean up the UI-we rebuilt Destiny around how strategists think and work. Every screen was re-architected to reduce friction, surface insights, and support scale.

Budget allocation interface showing flight plan details and product groups

One of the most important decisions strategists make is how to allocate budget. Destiny makes that process visual, flexible, and traceable.

PRODUCT GROUP PAGE

Designing for scale and control

  • Introduced smart grouping logic to cluster products by performance and strategy
  • Allowed bulk updates to campaigns and budgets from one central view
  • Designed a CSV import experience that cut manual work by 80%
  • Enabled inline alerts and bulk edits to resolve issues without context switching

FINAL THOUGHTS
