Project: La Unique Tea Company | Tea Cup Dealer (E-commerce)

My Role:  UI UX and Design

Deliverables: Research, Wire-frames, User Personas, User Story, Hi-fi prototype(Invision)

Client: The client used to run one of the busiest tea houses in Vancouver voted best place for an english tea party by the Georgia Straight. She had to retire and sell her shop in 2017 due to medical reasons and approached me to help her move her tea cup collection.

Project: How does one sell unique and antique table-wear online in 2018 in a new engaging way? La Unique brings together beautiful UI UX with the rarest tea cups in the world for a once an auction pretty enough to subscribe to! Each month a 100+ will be sold to the highest bidder for built in engagement.

Process: The client loved flowers and fresh ones were a regular site at her tea shop.
I wanted to incorporate this love for the flowers into my designs and thought it was a good balance to the very flamboyant tea cups and table-wear. Since the cups are vintage it would be silly to use new flowers. I started to create my floral pattern by separating vintage flower illustrations from old texts then dropping the saturation. I also thought a tea cart icon would make a lovely shopping cart alternative.

PATTERN CREATION

Story: On Oct. 4, 1957, Sputnik 1 successfully launched and entered Earth’s orbit. Thus, began the space age. For a company who’s soul purpose is to pioneer cutting edge media to Asia. I also loved the idea of paying homage to the first Earth Satellite. Sputnik 1.

A truly international interface needed to have multi-language support which was my biggest design challenge. I created both light and dark versions for full colour support and built in subscription support.

Key Features:

• Light + Dark Versions

• White Label UI UX

• Multi Language Support

• Live-Stream x Playlist Support

• Subscription Service Support

Project: Balance Lifetracker App

My Role:  UI UX and Design

Deliverables: Wire-frames, User Personas, User Story, Hi-fi prototype(Invision)

Goal: I wanted to create a beautiful and simple app design to help people find life balance.

I wanted to achieve balance of warm and cool tones so I started with a gradient background. I wanted to make the interface as less intrusive as possible so I made the design choice to capitalize almost none of the text. I traced a paper lotus design illustrator for the logo. Tested in low fidelity and made with love.
