Walmart

As Lead Product Designer, I guided the design vision across both the Unity SDK and the developer dashboard. My responsibilities included:

• Design Leadership: Led a cross-functional design team, ensuring consistency and quality across all touchpoints.
• Client Collaboration: Workshops with Walmart stakeholders to uncover core user needs and co-create solutions.
• Visual & Interaction Design: Defined the overall look and feel, established the design system, and led art direction to ensure a cohesive and immersive experience.
• Motion & Interactivity: Oversaw the design of transitions, animations, and interactive states to maintain immersion within RT3D environments.
• Data & Metrics: Contributed to the design of the developer dashboard, focusing on usability and clarity in presenting sales metrics and integration health.

The Challenge

As immersive 3D experiences become more mainstream, developers are looking for new ways to monetize their games beyond digital goods. Walmart saw an opportunity to bridge the virtual and physical worlds by allowing players to purchase real-world items directly from within games.

The Solution

We designed and delivered a Unity native integration of Walmart’s commerce APIs, enabling developers to embed real world shopping experiences directly into their games and apps.

Key Features:

• Cross-platform support: Works across 20+ platforms including mobile, desktop, console, and VR.
• Customizable storefront UI: Developers can match the look and feel of their game.
• Real time product data: Live pricing, inventory, and shipping info from Walmart.
• Secure checkout: Seamless in game purchasing powered by Walmart’s infrastructure.

This solution unlocked a new monetization channel for developers while helping Walmart reach customers in immersive, engaging environments.

Results

• New revenue stream: Developers can now earn side income by selling physical items in their games.
• Positive reception: Walmart was thrilled with the product and its potential to connect with younger, tech-savvy audiences.
• Strong partnership: The collaboration between Unity and Walmart was praised for its innovation and execution.
• Scalable impact: The solution is now available to Unity developers globally, opening up new creative and commercial possibilities.
