SUMMARY
bl!nk is a headless service for e-commerce companies seeking digital experiences that load in the blink of an eye. Lacking a visual identity and website to match that, bl!nk needed a complete approach from brand development, strategy, and design.
MY ROLE
Develop the brand, conduct a competitive analysis, create a design system, and design the website.
THE CLIENT
bl!nk by Responsival
THE PROBLEM
bl!nk was branded with Responsival's styling rather than having its own, which needed established in a design system and visualized with a site.
THE SOLUTION
Work as a team to divide and conquer each task to create an electric, powerful, distinctive brand.
THE PROCESS

Discovery

I led multiple discovery workshops with my coworkers to begin developing blink's brand. First and foremost, we started with general ideas, hopes, and dreams, following with a brainstorming session to mediate our concepts into one mood board, which was presented during a third meeting with the leadership team.


Notable Contributions

Creating elements, sections, and thus pages is a feat like no other. My sections, which include anything from blog category cards, call-to-actions, accordions, cards – and more – enabled an efficient process of recycling and recreating new material that fulfilled information architecture best practices.

Design System

My boss and myself developed the design system in Figma and Webflow to include various gradients, angular gradients, blurry blobs, grain textures, fonts, iconography, shapes, imagery, and layouts.

MOVING FORWARD

With more time, I would have loved to conduct initial user research and impressions to better identify any successes or pain points across the website.
