ABOUT THE PROJECT

The idea for this project came from my own difficulty in finding tailored fashion items on common e-commerce platforms. I find it time-consuming to sift through numerous product recommendations that don’t match my style preferences.

As part of my UI/UX Design Bootcamp with JayJay School, I designed an e-commerce app specifically for users seeking hype fashion products, aiming to enhance their shopping experience.

Details of The Study

PROBLEMS

Many existing eCommerce platforms lack personalized shopping experiences. 

Users often find it challenging to discover new and exclusive items that match their style preferences. 

Existing platforms do not adequately foster community engagement and knowledge updates.

Hype streetwear is also about community and users need to keep updated about streetwear trends.

PROJECT GOALS

Develop an eCommerce app that offers personalized customization.

One-stop e-commerce that allows users to connect, share, and engage with the streetwear community.
