Goals & Vision
Designing books or albums is a time consuming and skillful burden which keeps many clients from ordering. The vision was to remove as much friction as possible, provide design confidence, and make ordering books and albums a breeze.
Roles & Responsibilities
I was the designer on the project working within the design system that I developed for all of the design apps. Along with design, I have taken part in frontend react development for a variety of features including architecting and building the shared theming and components, building the gallery filter menu, supporting new products, enhancing renderings, and more.
Results
We built a theme-able interface with flexible selections, automated layout generation based on image best fit, and high quality renderings which benefit over thousands of users each month. This tool has become the primary ordering method for book products at White House Custom Colour and has created growth into new markets and partnerships with it's simplicity.
