A conceptual eCommerce App for minimalist home goods.
The aesthetic decisions for the app were largely subconscious, but I feel that a large part of the inspiration for this app was from Virgil Abloh's streetwear. I think all designers would benefit from looking outside of their discipline for inspiration.
I usually create a messy artboard in Figma to start generating ideas about the color palette, fonts, mood, etc... I also took screenshots of several e-commerce/fashion apps, to study their ideas and design solutions.
Virgil Abloh's sneaker reconstructions immediately came to mind when thinking about what a minimalist home-good eCommerce app would look like.
After carefully researching many home goods and fashion eCommerce apps, I formed a user flow diagram that outlines how users would likely navigate through the app. This also highlighted what pages I needed to create for the prototype.
Takeaways:
This was a great project for understanding the mobile UX/UI implementation in Figma.
My favorite part of designing this app was developing an aesthetic and brand that reflects the store's minimalist products.
