Role: UX /UI Designer (Team Project)

Timeline: 6 weeks 

Platform: Website in Squarespace

About the project

This design proposal was for the startup company, 4 Optimizing, whose goal is to sell healthy, vegan chocolate snacks. The mission was to create a compelling design that would entice the target audience to try their products.

The problem and the solution

4 Optimizing is a startup company and needs their stakeholders and target audience to be aware of their products. They want to bring great-tasting, healthy products to market and are already being sold in local stores. Our solution was to create a branding proposal, complete with a logo, product package design, a website and a motion piece to advertise their products on social media. I was the UI/UX designer on the team to create their website mockup and prototype to showcase the products and its details.

Wireframes

While the brand designer was creating the package design, we started to work on building wireframe of the website. As the company requested to use website platform Squarespace, my UI/UX design partner, Munjeong, researched what kind of interactive features were available in there. Based on her research, we discussed and created the wireframes. We received feedbacks from the client and designed several iterations.

Package design created by Nikki Keller

Based on the product package design and 4 Optimizing requesting a minimalistic aesthetic, we determined the art direction of the website. We explored several color options before settling on a light blue green that gave a feeling of cleanliness as the the products contains only great ingredients that benefit users health.
