Case Study: Vidé Labs – From Brand Identity to High-Converting Shopify Store 🚀
Project Overview 🌟
Vidé Labs is an innovative skincare platform that empowers entrepreneurs to launch private-label cosmetics without the hassle of inventory, contracts, or complex logistics. 💄💼 Operating in the highly competitive beauty and personal care industry, Vidé Labs needed a strong, cohesive brand presence and a seamless digital experience to attract and convert potential customers.
Before our collaboration, the client faced a major challenge: their products were premium and scientifically formulated, but their online presence lacked the visual identity, usability, and conversion-focused design needed to stand out. They needed a holistic solution encompassing branding, logo design, UX/UI, web development, and a high-performing Shopify store. 🛍️
Role and Responsibilities 🛠️
I served as the end-to-end creative and technical partner for Vidé Labs, wearing multiple hats:
Logo & Branding Designer 🎨: Created the visual identity, logo, color palette, typography, and brand guidelines to ensure consistency across digital and physical touchpoints.
UI/UX Designer 🖌️: Developed an intuitive, conversion-focused interface in Figma, optimizing user journeys and navigation.
Web Designer & Developer 💻: Transformed Figma designs into a fully functional, responsive Shopify website with fast load times.
Full-Stack Integration ⚙️: Implemented Shopify CMS functionalities, optimized product pages, and integrated e-commerce features to boost sales efficiency.
Specific tasks included Figma prototyping, front-end development, Shopify integration, responsive design, custom iconography, and packaging-aligned branding visuals.
Process and Approach 🧩
The project began with an in-depth discovery phase 🔍, analyzing the client’s business goals, competitors, and target audience behavior. I researched high-performing skincare e-commerce stores to identify patterns for conversions and user experience best practices.
Next, I developed a branding strategy 🏷️ to reflect Vidé Labs’ premium, science-driven positioning. This involved:
Designing the logo and visual assets ✨
Establishing a cohesive color palette 🎨
Selecting typefaces and creating brand guidelines 📚
For UI/UX design, I built high-fidelity Figma prototypes, focusing on user flows, product categorization, and the “add-to-cart” experience 🛒. Mobile-first responsiveness and visually engaging product pages were a priority.
During development, I implemented the designs on Shopify, creating custom templates, interactive elements, and optimized performance ⚡. Challenges like balancing high-resolution imagery with fast loading times were solved using efficient coding and image optimization.
Finally, testing and deployment ✅ ensured cross-device and cross-browser functionality, while post-launch support fine-tuned SEO, analytics tracking, and A/B testing for conversions.

Several unique solutions set this project apart:
Brand Cohesion 🎯: Seamless visual identity across website and product packaging.
Conversion-Focused Design 💰: Optimized layout and CTA placement for maximum conversions.

These innovations not only improved user experience but also strengthened brand recognition and trust among customers.
