Hemmings · Head of Design & Product Experience

Turning a trusted automotive brand into an ongoing member relationship.

I led design end to end for Hemmings Motor Club—shaping the membership proposition from concept through launch and connecting brand, benefits, commerce, and product into one coherent experience.

Scope

Product strategy, experience design, brand direction, conversion, and member engagement.

Mandate

Build a new recurring membership business from concept through launch.

Complexity

Unify content, marketplace trust, partner benefits, and community into clear ongoing value.

How I moved the product forward

The work required more than a purchase flow. It required a proposition people could understand before joining and continue to value afterward.

Member value first

Made the benefits, relevance, and reasons to join clear at every decision point.

One connected journey

Linked discovery, purchase, onboarding, and the benefits hub as one continuous experience.

Brand made operational

Translated the identity into a system that worked across product, marketing, and member touchpoints.

The Members Club Journey

The journey connects discovery, purchase and the benefits hub—making the value of membership clear before and after conversion.

Branding and Styleguide

I directed the brand system with an external agency, then translated it into practical guidance across product, marketing and member touchpoints.
