GiftNex International

A Shopify store where most of the work was not the visual design. It was deciding how a catalogue should be organised for somebody shopping on a phone who does not know what they want yet.

The problem

Gifting is browsing, not searching. The customer arrives without a product in mind and leaves if the path does not go anywhere.

That makes collection architecture the actual product decision, and it gets treated as an afterthought almost everywhere.

What I did

  • Shopify store design and build, end to end.
  • Five merchandised collections and the collection architecture underneath them.
  • Mobile shopping experience, tested on a phone rather than on a desktop pretending to be one.
  • Brand identity and marketing graphics.

The store

Walk the storefront in the Archives. The structure is the thing worth looking at, more than any single page.
