be.u — Skincare E-commerce Website
Project Type: E-commerce Design & Development
Role: Web Designer & Brand Developer
Platform: Shopify
Year: 2025
Overview
be.u is a modern skincare e-commerce brand built around the concept “Because no one is you.” The project combines a clean, luxurious aesthetic with strategic UX decisions designed to convert visitors into loyal customers. The goal was to create a brand and shopping experience that felt personal, aspirational, and effortless—turning skincare into a ritual of self-expression.
Objective
To develop a high-end Shopify store that communicates confidence and individuality while maintaining a minimalist and functional interface optimized for conversions and storytelling.
Approach & Process
Visual Direction
I developed a soft and feminine aesthetic that communicates purity and balance.
Colors: muted pastels (mint, blush, white, graphite) for calmness and trust.
Typography: Poppins for headlines and Inter for body text, ensuring readability and sophistication.
Layout: clean grid structure with generous whitespace and subtle motion for an editorial feel.
Product Presentation
Every product was displayed with refined imagery and consistent lighting to enhance perceived quality. I emphasized realistic shadows, soft tones, and composition symmetry to make each item feel tactile and desirable.
User Experience Design
The navigation was designed to feel intuitive — from hero to checkout — using visual hierarchy to guide attention. Scroll-based storytelling introduces the brand philosophy first, followed by discovery, credibility (testimonials), and conversion (shop section).
Development
The build focused on performance and flexibility. Custom Shopify sections were created for bundles, reviews, and featured products. SEO structure and clean metadata were applied to strengthen organic visibility.
Results
The site conveys a luxurious yet approachable tone that aligns with self-care and natural beauty.
AI-generated product photos reduced production costs while maintaining visual consistency.
The brand presentation elevated perceived value—positioning be.u as a premium skincare label ready for paid traffic campaigns.
Key Learnings
This project demonstrated how advanced frameworks (AI branding + AI product photography) can accelerate design workflows without compromising craftsmanship. It also reinforced how emotion-driven UX paired with strong visual identity can significantly boost conversion potential in DTC e-commerce.
