Client: HibouT'chou Concept store

Timeline: August 2022 - September 2022

Role: Product Designer

Business Need: To drive brand awareness and increase sales, HibouT'chou required a robust e-commerce app that could overcome the trust barriers associated with online shopping in Tunisia. The app needed to offer a seamless and intuitive shopping experience that accurately reflected the in-store ambiance and product selection. Additionally, the app needed to be accessible and convenient, allowing customers to explore the product catalog and complete purchases without the constraints of physical store hours.

HibouT'chou, a beloved concept store, faced the challenge of expanding its reach beyond the physical store and into the digital realm. Despite offering a curated selection of unique products, the brand struggled to build trust and convert online shoppers, particularly due to Tunisians' inherent skepticism towards e-commerce. Furthermore, the lack of a user-friendly online platform hindered the ability to showcase the full product catalog and expedite the shopping process.
