Scaling Afrikstabel: UI/UX Design for Global E-commerce Business
The Challenge
Afrikstabel sells authentic African prints globally but was limited by manual operations via WhatsApp and social media. I transformed their business by designing a scalable digital ecosystem that could grow with them.
What I Delivered
• Complete Digital Ecosystem designed for scalability:
Mobile app for customers
Responsive web application
Admin portal for order management
Redesigned website
• User-Centered Improvements that boosted conversions:
Smart verification process that reduced drop-offs
Real-time search filtering with instant results feedback
Culturally-sensitive product tagging for global customers
Streamlined checkout with Paystack integration
Design Approach
I prioritized scalability at every step by:
• Creating flexible components that could accommodate growing product catalogs
• Designing systems rather than isolated screens
• Building with internationalization in mind from the start
• Implementing UX solutions that would work efficiently at 10x customer volume
Tools & Collaboration
• Designed in Figma while working closely with developers over 6 months
• Maintained continuous feedback loops between client, design, and development teams
• Created solutions that balanced business needs, technical feasibility, and user experience
Impact
The new design system has positioned Afrikstabel to scale globally by automating processes, reducing operational time, and creating a shopping experience that resonates with customers across different cultures and regions.
