Modernizing navigation on Etsy.com

2019 - 2020 | Design execution

The design systems team had just spent the last year building Etsy's new design system, "Collage". With rollout being slower and more difficult than expected, we were looking for a way to help push progress forward.

We set our sights on the global navigation of Etsy.com. Modernizing the navigation would give us an opportunity to create a highly visible test piece of the new system. And with this highly visible test piece, our hope was that we could make some headway in modernizing our product and break the ice for other teams to start adopting the new standards.
