HODLIT
CRyptocurrency Exchange Mobile App design
Revolutionizing the Mobile Cryptocurrency Experience: HODLIT's Innovative UI/UX Mobile Application Redesign.
HODLIT, a mobile cryptocurrency exchange platform, approached The Skins Factory to do a full redesign of their mobile application design. We started with a complete refresh of their on-boarding process and user experience. To enhance the visual design, we opted for a sleek "panther black" backdrop infused with subtle undertones of deep purple. This choice ensured that any color incorporated later would pop off the screens, injecting a playful essence while upholding the platform's gravitas. Our UI designers crafted a fusion of 2D elements and neumorphic accents, imbuing the interface with a refined, tactile quality. Meanwhile, the user experience underwent refinement, resulting in a seamlessly intuitive journey for every Hodlit user.

Recognize Me
SOCIAL MEDIA Mobile App DESIGN
Aesthetic Brilliance, Functional Excellence: Redefining Mobile Social Media.
“I want to be able to put a name to a face” the client told us. This sparked a mobile app design project that took almost six months from start to completion. The Skins Factory’s user interface, user experience & user-centric designers were able to transform a one sentence concept into a fully designed mobile application, meeting the challenge head-on. From outlining core feature sets & creating user flow maps, to low-fidelity and then high-fidelity wireframes & comps, our UX design agency rose to the challenge. But we didn’t stop there. We expanded the initial concept to a more robust feature set to increase adoption and retention. To look at the work behind the creation of this app, go here.

DTFsuperstore
ECOMMERCE STORE WEBSITE DESIGN
This eCommerce website redesign project was a follow-up project to a user interface touchscreen design previously worked on for the client. Our task was to revamp the visual and user experience design for DTFsuperstore.com, which initially utilized a basic Shopify template.
During the discovery phase, we observed a surprising lack of color on printing supply websites, especially considering the industry's focus on ink color. Determined to differentiate our client's site, we infused vibrant CMYK colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) into masthead imagery and design elements throughout the site. Using generative AI Artwork (via Midjourney) and Adobe Photoshop, we crafted captivating masthead images for the various standalone & product category template pages. The overall design features modern, curved-cornered panels with subtle drop shadows, while neumorphic design elements added depth to the sub-footer and select areas.
