My design focus
The client provided a brief outlining their mission and desired website improvements. They aimed for:
- Purposeful site layout
- Feminine colors
- High-quality, natural beauty-focused makeup
I was asked to concentrate on three pages: the homepage, collection page, product page, and a style guide. I began by assessing the existing site for improvements. I was also asked to recommend a suitable Shopify theme which came with their own constraints.
User testing was skipped due to budget constraints, relying instead on market research, the client brief, my e-commerce experience, and makeup consumer insights.

Final thoughts
While I regret not conducting user testing, I'm pleased with the overall layout's endurance. I'd revisit the style guide to enhance UI elements and add accessible color combination recommendations.
Sensia IQ's mission of enhancing natural beauty made this project meaningful. Increased product reviews demonstrate customer empowerment and engagement.
