The Challenge

In a crowded fashion and beauty market, a new e-commerce app must do more than just function—it needs to build trust and confidence. The challenge was to design a mobile-first experience that was intuitive and engaging from the first tap, encouraging discovery while simplifying the path to purchase.

The Solution

The solution is Hyllo, a modern 
e-commerce app built on a robust design system. By focusing on a clear information architecture and streamlined workflows for key tasks, the design reduces friction and creates an enjoyable, seamless shopping journey from start to finish.

My Role & Approach

As the lead UI/UX designer on this project, my responsibility was to take the client's high-level requirements and architect the entire user experience and visual interface. I worked to establish a complete design system in Figma, creating all components, wireframes, and high-fidelity screens.



My approach was centered on creating a scalable and consistent design foundation. I focused on building a system that was not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional, ensuring that every design decision contributed to the primary goals of user clarity and ease of use.

Building the Design System

A robust and scalable design system was established in Figma to ensure consistency and efficiency throughout the project, covering everything from typography and color styles to interactive components.


A clear system of colors, typography, and spacing was defined based on iOS guidelines to create a cohesive and professional visual language for the entire platform.

Design Foundations

Key UI elements, like text fields and headers, were built as flexible components with multiple states to ensure a consistent user experience across complex forms and sections.

Reusable Components

The project was organized with a clear page structure in Figma, separating the design system, wireframes, and final screens to create an efficient workflow for design and developer handoff.

The Workflow


1

From User Story to
UI Solution

A core part of my process was exploring multiple design solutions for critical user flows to find the most effective approach.

Example User Story
from Client

"As a shopper, I want to easily manage the items in my cart and proceed to checkout with minimal confusion, so I don't abandon my purchase."

My Design Solution

For the shopping cart and checkout flow, I designed and prototyped three distinct versions (V1, V2, V3). This iterative process allowed us to evaluate different layouts for displaying product details, shipping costs, and payment options. The final chosen design was a multi-step, transparent process with a clear progress indicator, which tested best for user clarity and reduced the cognitive load of checking out.


A streamlined product listing page with powerful, easy-to-use filtering options that allow users to quickly find exactly what they're looking for.

Intuitive Product Discovery

A carefully designed, multi-step checkout process that guides the user seamlessly from adding their address to completing the payment.

Frictionless Checkout

A clear and organized section for users to track their current orders, view their purchase history, and manage returns or refunds.

Order Management


Showcase

A deep dive into building a complete e-commerce experience and design system from scratch.

This project reinforced the critical importance of establishing a robust and well-documented design system at the outset. A strong system is the key to maintaining design integrity and ensuring a consistent user experience, especially when a project needs to be handed off or scaled in the future.

What I Learned

Given the chance to revisit the project, I would advocate for early implementation of design tokens within Figma. This would have made the design system even more resilient and easier for developers to implement, ensuring that the spacing, color, and typography rules I established were maintained perfectly in the final product.

What I Would Do Differently

A well-designed app like Hyllo can directly impact business success by increasing user engagement, improving conversion rates at checkout, and fostering customer loyalty through a positive and effortless shopping experience.
