E-COMMERCE FOR A SPORTS STORE
This interface project was developed for a new sports goods brand focused on the North American market. The central objective was to combine the sector's aesthetics with a Brazilian creative vision, meeting the client's desire for an authentic and distinctive foreign design perspective.
Although the project was paused before its commercial launch, the final delivery reflects an intuitive and modern user experience. The work presented here demonstrates the balance between US and CA consumer trends and the vibrant visual identity of Brazilian design.
1. Context
This project focused on the interface design for an e-commerce platform exclusively dedicated to the sporting goods and equipment sector. The core proposal aimed to create a digital ecosystem where consumers could find a wide range of materials for various sports in a single location. The strategic goal was to develop a solution that combined modernity and convenience, offering a robust alternative to physical store visits, especially during peak periods. Although the initiative was paused prior to its official launch, all work was grounded in a UX strategy designed for business scalability.
2. Problem
The main challenge identified was the difficulty users faced in locating authentic products quickly and intuitively within a saturated market. Many interfaces in the industry fail to organize complex inventories, resulting in confusing navigation that overwhelms customers with information overload. Additionally, there was a critical need to establish a shopping environment that conveyed total trust and security, addressing the common hesitation found in digital transactions for high-performance gear. The focus, therefore, was on resolving the fragmented buyer journey and the lack of clarity in how brands and categories were displayed.
