My Lists

My Lists is a management tool for products that users have saved within Yahoo! Shopping. I was the design lead for this project and developed both the interaction and visual design.

From within ‘My Lists,’ users could add notes, compare products, add the product to multiple lists, share their lists with friends, and publish their list as a ‘Pick List’ on Yahoo! Shopping.

I based the concept of ‘My Lists’ around e-mail applications, as there is a similar mental model - creating lists / folders and adding items to these folders. One difference from most e-mail applications though, was that items could live in several lists / folders - which in essence was a way to ‘tag’ saved products.
