Maison IX – Digital CRO Agency Brand & Product Suite
Hedvig Brekke
💼 Project: Maison IX – Digital CRO Agency Brand & Product Suite
(Currently Archived)
Overview
Maison IX is a conversion-focused agency concept I built from scratch, combining my expertise in UX, CRO, and digital product strategy. It was designed as a frictionless, modern service brand with a bold editorial identity and productized services for e-commerce and digital-first brands.
I led the entire project end-to-end: from brand strategy and messaging to UX layout, content structure, and digital product creation. Maison IX reflects how I blend commercial logic, design clarity, and editorial taste to craft high-converting brand systems.
My Role
Brand identity & editorial direction
Website design, structure & UX messaging
CRO & AI-driven service design
Copywriting, value proposition design & product page layout
Creation of branded digital products (20–60 page PDF guides)
Growth strategy positioning & funnel testing
Outcome
A fully realized strategic brand with a clean, modern aesthetic, strong value clarity, and productized service offers. Although the brand is currently archived, it remains a complete reference for my work in conversion thinking, brand structure, and content-driven UX.
Note
Maison IX was a self-initiated concept project and is no longer active. All visuals and deliverables shown are original.
