Design Challenge: Add a Feature

May 2023

My name is Andrew Corey. I’m a product designer based in San Francisco, California with a background in retail merchandising, and I love creating rich user experiences.

I am a seasoned merchandising professional with a keen eye for detail and a passion for user-centered design, leveraging my near decade of experience in the industry to pivot into the world of UX design. With a strong understanding of consumer behavior and market trends, I have honed my skills in design thinking, user research, and prototyping to develop innovative and intuitive solutions that meet business goals and exceed user expectations. With a proven track record of success in both merchandising and UX design, I am excited to bring my unique perspective and skillset into a product design role.

Here are some individuals who have worked with me in the past and here's what they have to say….

Levi's Summer 2023 Global Sales Launch

Work that speaks for itself — backed by teammates.

Senior Manager,
Global Talent Development @ Levi's
ex-HBO, ex-Urban Outfitters

'It is my pleasure to strongly recommend Andrew Corey.

My name is Emily Grubbs, and I have worked as a leader in Talent Development for the past 11 years. I have had the opportunity to work with Andrew at not 1, but 2 organizations (URBN/Urban Outfitters and Levi Strauss & Co.).

I first met Andrew at URBN/UO, while he was a participant in one of my leadership development programs. During his time in the program, Andrew was one of our most engaged participants, serving as a leader within his cohort. Andrew is clearly an active learner, continuing his development far past his experience in our formal programs, periodically reaching out for coaching on how he could enhance his leadership skills throughout our years at URBN/UO. Once reconnected at Levi Strauss and Co. years later, I was happy to see that Andrew has continued to work hard to enhance his skillset, being accepted and participating in a company-wide (and extremely competitive) Machine Learning Bootcamp, where he was able to take his merchant skills to a higher level and grow in a completely new area to drive the business forward.

Andrew has always been a pleasure to work with and I firmly believe that any company would be smart to invest in him and his potential. Beyond his analytical and creative skills from years in the merchant/buying space, Andrew has an incredibly positive attitude, strong work-ethic and growth mindset that will help him succeed as a leader in any of his pursuits.'
‘My Name is Matthew Duckett, and I am Director of print and graphics at Levis and I have
worked closely with Andrew and have had the privilege of working with him the last few years.

Andrew is very studious and hard working and I have worked with him on seasonal graphics, as well as special projects mixed within the seasons. The designs that he and his team projected and merchandised were perfectly suited for our collection and brought about strong sales. Andrews contributions and direction has led to critical growth at Levis at a difficult time of transition within graphic tops.

Andrew was able to deliver an original direction for each season to a consistently high standard, but also based on critical thinking from past seasons and data from internal sources and trend research.
It has been a pleasure to work with Andrew as he is always helpful and willing to help other members of the team.

He has a lot of experience in clothing, not only on the merchandising side but has a great knowledge of the design side and is always willing to help and offer advice to the more junior members of my team of which is very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt'

‘It is my fullest pleasure to recommend Andrew Corey for a Product Design Role. I am Ashleigh Tang, Brand Insights Manager at Levi Strauss. I have 12 years of experience working in the apparel industry and had the fortune to work closely with Andrew as a team mate and cross-functional partner for 3.5 years.

From the beginning Andrew exemplified a driven approach to onboarding. Quickly learning internal processes and ideating areas for improvement. Leadership saw him as a critical resource for identifying strategic initiatives and recommending areas of inefficiencies. His team saw him as a hugely supportive colleague and sought after to advise on their projects. Cross-functionally he thoughtfully lead discussions and balanced varied opinions to reach a collaborative outcome.

A great example of Andrew’s hybrid technical and tactful skills is the launch of a quick to market graphic tee product line for Levi’s. He led the project among a team of engineers, designers and merchandisers without any benchmark of a similar initiative and intensive timeline on a prioritize revenue stream for key wholesalers. He resourcefully resolved issues with engineering to maintain the project timeline, leveraged consumer insights and testing to impact the product offer and ensured effective satisfaction with stakeholders. The result succeeded in establishing a fast-track channel for consumer driven graphic tee capsules.

Individually he is passionate about learning new skills, consistently focused on consumer testing and proactively leverages insights. Andrew is indispensable and a positive spirit. I am confident he will be an excellent fit and asset to your organization.
If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me any time.

Thanks!

'I am writing to recommend Andrew Corey. I had previously worked with Andrew for over three years at Levi Strauss and Co. He was on my team as a merchant for Men’s Graphics managing a business of over $150 million in annual revenue.

Over the course of Andrew’s tenure, he showcased his positive attitude and strong work ethic as well as being adaptable to a fast-paced and dynamic environment. He is collaborative, can navigate through ambiguity and is able to juggle multiple projects and changing priorities.

His eagerness to learn and take on new challenges was highlighted when he launched the graphics toolkit in 2020. Andrew was an integral part of this program which got product to market faster than ever. He used his strong product knowledge and relationship building skills to drive energy into the marketplace and test and learn new design trends.

I am certain these skills can make a positive impact on your organization.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have further questions.

Thank you
