Lunea Replatform
A deep dive into creating a refined brand identity and developing a custom, high-speed e-commerce front-end for a luxury skincare line.
Client Goal
Brand clarity and 2x conversions
My Role
Brand Strategist & Front-end Dev
Key Outcome
New Brand Guide / +120% Conversion
OVERVIEW
Lunea needed a premium online presence that matched their luxury product line. The project required harmonizing their scattered visual identity into a robust Brand Guide while simultaneously building a lightning-fast, headless e-commerce experience using React and Next.js for optimal SEO and conversion performance.
THE DUAL CHALLENGE
- Brand Dilution: Inconsistent messaging and visuals across social media and the existing site confused high-end customers.
- Performance Lag: The legacy platform was slow, leading to high abandonment rates on mobile devices.
- Maintenance: No centralized design system made component updates slow and inconsistent.
STRATEGY & EXECUTION
- Brand Workshop: Conducted a two-day workshop to define core values, voice, and visual direction, resulting in a comprehensive Brand Style Guide.
- Design System: Built a reusable component library in Figma, directly translated into Tailwind CSS components in the codebase.
- Headless Development: Developed the front-end in React/Next.js, connecting to the existing Shopify backend for seamless product management but superior speed.
- UX Focus: Implemented A/B tested checkout flows to minimize friction and maximize conversion rates.
RESULTS & IMPACT
- Conversion Rate: Increased e-commerce conversion rate by 120% within the first quarter post-launch.
- Brand Equity: All marketing efforts now use the unified brand guide, improving customer recall and loyalty.
- Site Speed: Achieved a mobile performance score of 98/100, dramatically reducing bounce rate.
