Frustrations

Ideate

I created digital wireframes in Adobe XD to quickly visualize and iterate on layout and user interface ideas and make rapid modifications.

Digital Wireframes

I researched other furniture websites and felt it would be best to have a minimal navigation with a big emphasis on categorizing by room.

Sitemap

I sketched many versions of logo options and settled with something close to the bottom right image because it had the greatest potential and readability.

Logo Sketching

Prototype

I mapped out the basic structure and functionality in the low-fidelity prototype that facilitated clear communication of the initial concept without distracting elements for multiple screen sizes.

Low-Fidelity Mockups

The design was advanced in the high-fidelity mockup, where detailed visuals and interactive elements were incorporated to provide a closer representation of the final product and more accurate user testing and feedback.

All of the digital image assets were from royalty-free sites like Unsplash, Pexels, and Pixabay.
