About the Project
SAINT is a premium e‑commerce platform offering luxury candles and fragrances inspired by ritual, intention, and self‑reflection. The brand blends spirituality with modern design, positioning its products as more than scents experiences meant to elevate daily moments.

Challenge
The primary challenge was to create a visually rich, emotionally driven interface that communicates luxury and spirituality, while still delivering a clear and intuitive shopping journey. The platform needed to feel editorial and cinematic without overwhelming users or disrupting conversion flows

Immersion
Understanding luxury buyers, ritual‑driven branding, and scent storytelling
To deeply understand the product and audience, I immersed myself in the luxury fragrance space through multiple research layers:
Studied high‑end fragrance and candle brands to analyze storytelling and visual language
Researched buyer psychology around ritual, gifting, and self‑care products
Analyzed e‑commerce usability patterns for premium DTC brands
Explored content‑led commerce and editorial layouts
Reviewed trust signals important for luxury online purchases
This phase helped define the balance between emotional branding and functional design

Experience Strategy
Blending storytelling with conversion‑focused e‑commerce
The experience strategy focused on guiding users through a narrative‑driven journey while subtly leading them toward purchase. Key strategic decisions included:
Story‑first homepage layouts that introduce brand philosophy before products
Curated collections to reduce choice overload
Clear product hierarchies with premium visual emphasis
Minimal but strong CTAs that align with the brand tone
The goal was to make users feel inspired first—and confident enough to buy naturally

Design Execution
Crafting a refined, immersive shopping experience
The final design emphasizes elegance, depth, and clarity through:
Dark, moody color palettes and refined typography for a luxury feel
High‑quality product photography supported by scent descriptions
Trust‑building elements such as reviews, featured collections, and social proof
Mobile‑first layouts ensuring smooth browsing and checkout across devices
Content sections that reinforce ritual, intention, and brand storytelling
Every screen was designed to feel calm, intentional, and premium.

Outcome
A storytelling‑led e‑commerce experience that converts with confidence
he final result is a polished, emotionally engaging e‑commerce platform that successfully merges luxury branding with usability. The design elevates the perception of the products while maintaining a seamless shopping flow positioning SAINT as a ritual‑driven lifestyle brand rather than a conventional online store.
This project demonstrates our ability to design high‑end e‑commerce experiences where storytelling, trust, and conversion work together seamlessly
