THE JOURNEY

From first launch to global ecosystem

Original Creators site launch (2023)

I designed and launched the original Creators site, Pinterest’s first-ever educational hub for organic growth.

Create relaunch & expansion (2024)

I led the relaunch into Create, a global, multi-audience ecosystem aligned with Pinterest’s “Every Pin Shoppable” strategy.

PHASE 1

Building the Foundation

  • Designed and launched the Creators site — Pinterest’s first educational hub for organic growth.

  • Built a multi-language promo kit (social, video, newsletter, one-sheeter) localized for 13 regions.

  • Developed scalable campaign templates (Pin Tips + other creator campaigns).

  • Created a reusable house-ad system adopted across global teams.

Key Insights

Educational content drove the highest engagement; localization and cross-functional collaboration were critical to scale.

PHASE 2

Expanding the Platform

From creator-only hub → Global multi-audience education platform

  • Built on Success — Expanded content strategy using insights from the original Creators site.

  • Unified Site & System — Redesigned the homepage and IA with new sections (For Your Brand, What’s New, Success Stories).

  • Scaled Globally — Extended the education-first approach to 18 + regions through reusable templates and CMS components.

The reimagined sitemap introduces clear pathways for each content creator type.

PHASE 3

Scaling the Ecosystem

From one-off launches → global marketing system

  • Global Campaign Systems — Transformed one-off launches (like Content Challenges) into repeatable global frameworks.

  • Multi-Channel Marketing Design — Connected site, email, ads, and social into a cohesive learning journey.

  • Reusable Templates & Libraries — Built Figma systems and asset libraries that standardized campaign production.

  • Localization Enablement — Partnered with regional and localization teams to adapt visuals, motion, and content for each market.
