Challenges:
Effekt was a cutting-edge co-creation platform, enabling brands to design digital fashion with their communities. Their identity needed to appeal to forward-thinking fashion brands and position Effekt as a cohesive SaaS platform. This required unifying the marketing site, user dashboard, template editor, and template site under a modern visual language. The platform’s tech stack, including cryptocurrency wallets, NFT smart contracts, and generative AI, also presented significant UX challenges, requiring a balance between accessibility and innovation.

Solution:
The concept for the identity embraced Neo-futurism, a style that blends advanced technology with sleek, minimal design. This aesthetic of futuristic imagery, cool tones and clean typography projected innovation whist unifying all platform elements. A clutter-free interface and understated visual language ensured accessibility, including a streamlined onboarding process for crypto wallets and an intuitive interface for generative AI. Competitor analysis, user interviews, and pilot testing shaped these decisions, aligning the design closely with user needs.

Outcomes:
My strategic approach and user-centric design facilitated a platform that set new benchmarks in digital co-creation. While Effekt did not progress to full market launch, it received positive user feedback for its intuitive, adaptable design, which effectively addressed key needs. This project significantly advanced my expertise in UX/UI design for emerging technologies.
