UX/UI at McMaster-Carr
A multi-year engagement refining core ordering and product-discovery flows for one of industrial supply’s most-used catalogs—preserving its famous speed while modernizing the interaction layer.
The brief
McMaster-Carr’s catalog is loved for clarity and pace. The work centered on keeping that ethos intact while updating patterns across search, filtering, and checkout so they scale across thousands of product categories.
Approach
Component-level audits and rapid prototyping, iterated closely with engineering, produced a library of interaction patterns—dense where it needs to be, quiet everywhere else.
Outcome
Cleaner task flows, faster time-to-part, and a reusable pattern set adopted across teams.
