MISSON
Expresso, a fashion brand with dozens of boutiques in the EU was looking to increase sales, and increase brand accessibility. To make their boutiques more approachable to a wider audience. Cnote was asked to research, test, and improve their boutique experience as well as to design their first ever e-commerce site.
MY ROLE
As the Lead Experience Designer and Consultant at Cnote, the team and I started the engagement with field research at several of their boutique locations, and worked to understand their customers, non-customers, and their store employees. We used the insights to identify and implement improvements in the stores’ physical aspects, improve brand messaging and communications, and to create a store brand manual to bring guidance and consistency to the buying/selling service.
In a follow-up project, we designed a complete e-commerce website to improve their sales and strengthen the brand.
