SUNDIAL — Lighting Storefront Design & Development

SUNDIAL gives a considered product room to speak. This independent lighting-store concept explores how a distinctive visual identity can carry through the whole shopping experience, from the first impression to the details of a selected object.

The gallery pairs oversized typography with suspended product photography, quiet material studies and precise annotations. Arc Pendant and Tilt Table each have their own responsive composition. The layout follows the objects and the visitor's decisions, without a repeated stack of generic feature cards.

The experience is functional. Visitors can compare the objects, inspect bronze and opal glass, choose a size and review their selection. The image, product name and dimensions stay consistent through the journey. Each selection opens a readable concept sheet with a matching PDF available.

I developed the visual direction, responsive interface and React implementation, including the product data model, dialogs and concept-sheet views. The work went through independent visual review and browser checks covering layouts from 320 to 1440 pixels, product state, keyboard navigation and focus behavior. Product and room imagery is AI-generated for this original concept.

SUNDIAL is self-initiated portfolio work, not a paid client project. It demonstrates storefront art direction and frontend behavior; it is not connected to a live Shopify catalogue or checkout. The products and dimensions are illustrative. For a merchant project, the design and implementation scope would be defined around the actual brand, catalogue, theme and integrations.
