Dyson Connected Retail Experience

To support Dyson’s expansion into physical retail, I led the development of a connected in-store experience that bridges physical product interaction with digital education. We created an intuitive touchscreen application and a large-scale LED content strategy that transforms the store into both a showcase and a learning environment. The result is a seamless, product-first experience where customers can explore and understand complex engineering through guided digital interaction.

My Role

  • Led creative direction for Dyson’s in-store digital ecosystem, spanning touchscreen applications and large-format LED displays

  • Oversaw UX/UI design and development, content strategy and implementation to deliver a cohesive, product-first digital retail experience

Digital Product Experience: Touchscreen UX & UI

At the core of the experience is a series of interactive tablets integrated into merchandise fixtures. Customers can physically interact with Dyson products, then seamlessly transition to the touchscreen to explore deeper product features and information. This creates a continuous loop between touching, learning and deciding, turning the fixture into a self-service sales tool.

  • The application is translated into over 30 languages for regionalized customization at the store level

In-Store Content Strategy: LED & Environmental Media

Strategic Principles

Environmental Storytelling

  • High-impact visuals communicate performance, technology and product benefits at a glance

Zoned Content Approach

  • Content is tailored to different areas of the store to support both browsing and deeper engagement

System Integration

  • All content is centrally managed and aligned with in-store experiences, ensuring consistency across locations

Layered Experience

  • Immersive brand storytelling through large-format media
