Problem

New and early-stage fashion entrepreneurs often lack UX/UI expertise, leading to confusing storefronts, missed engagement opportunities, and lost sales.

Solution

I designed a mobile-first demo prototype showcasing high-conversion features like streamlined checkout and product visualization, giving fashion entrepreneurs clear strategies to improve user experience and boost sales.

My Contributions

Researched UX trends – Conducted competitive analysis of 70+ fashion brands, supplemented by data from multiple credible e-commerce sources. Organized findings into actionable insights to inform design decisions.
Designed the app prototype – Developed all mockups from scratch with a focus on high-converting features, ensuring an intuitive and effective user experience.
Layout and designed slide deck – Designed a clean, engaging, and easy-to-follow presentation to effectively communicate key insights and design solutions.

01. Research

I conducted a competitive analysis of 70+ fashion brands, supported by secondary research from credible e-commerce studies, and incorporated expert insights from Jenn Nguyen (10+ years in fashion e-commerce) to ensure all findings were credible and actionable.

Key Insights

02. Low Fidelity

Based on research, I sketched low-fidelity wireframes with a focus on mobile navigation, clear product displays, and simplified checkout flows

03. Usability Testing & Iteration

Before finalizing the mockups, I conducted a review session with Nenad Mišić (CRO Specialist) and Jenn Nguyen (Founder, Jenn Studio). Both have extensive experience in e-commerce conversion optimization.

04. Final Design

Here are the final high-fidelity mockups, along with selected slides from the webinar presentation that showcased these designs. The screens highlight how research-driven features such as streamlined checkout and detailed product visualization were brought to life in a mobile-first format.
