🧠 Project Overview
Grindrift is a bold, performance-driven skateboarding brand built for riders who push limits and ride with intent. The goal of this project was to create a high-energy, conversion-focused ecommerce website that reflects the raw spirit of skate culture while still delivering a smooth, intuitive shopping experience.
I was responsible for the entire website design from start to finish, including:

Skate brands require a very different approach than traditional ecommerce.
During discovery, I focused on:
Skateboarding culture and visual language
How action sports brands build authenticity
Ecommerce behavior of younger, mobile-first audiences
Balancing raw energy with usability and trust
📌 Key Insight:

UX Decisions:
Bold hero section with motion-focused visuals
Strong headline messaging for immediate impact
Clear CTA placement without overloading the page

Design System Highlights:
High-contrast blues and whites for impact

Most of the audience engages on phones — often on the go.
Mobile Optimization Included:
Large, thumb-friendly buttons
Vertical storytelling flow
Easy product scanning
Optimized spacing for small screens
This ensures a seamless shopping experience across all devices.
🧪 Iteration & Refinement
Multiple refinement rounds focused on:
