Barkable
Developing a shopping experience for dog treats
Overview
Barkable is a concept e-commerce website that I designed and built, inspired by the creative potential of the dog product market. The goal was to create an engaging user experience and a visually delightful platform with custom illustrations and dog treat packaging. Developed during the 2021 holiday season, Barkable showcases holiday-themed elements and a personalized approach, capturing the essence of playfulness and warmth. Currently in the process of rebuilding this project in React to leverage reusable components and enhance the overall performance.

Creating an entire design system
In the design process, I focused on creating an engaging and visually appealing user experience that aligned with Barkable's brand identity. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant world of dog products, I carefully selected color schemes and fonts that strike a balance between playfulness and professionalism. Additionally, I took pride in custom designing the packaging and illustrations, including holiday-themed designs to fit the season.
Coding out the designs
During the development process, I implemented dynamic routing for each product page, ensuring that the content is rendered based on the provided product data. I also created a product suggestion feature that recommends related items for each product page, encouraging exploration. To keep things organized, I utilized SCSS to structure the stylesheets, creating mixins and components that can be easily reused. This approach made development smoother and lays a solid foundation for future improvements.
