Problem
Handmade craft brands often look either amateur or generic online. It's hard to sell something personal and made-to-order in a way that feels as warm as the product itself.
Idea
An e-commerce experience with genuine warmth, a clear brand voice, made-to-order at its heart, and a look that feels handmade with care, not mass-produced.
My role
Brand and product design, the tone of voice, and the shop experience, from first impression to enquiry.
Tools used
Process
- Built the brand voice around care, uniqueness and sustainability.
- Designed a warm, calm storefront that showcases the pieces.
- Made 'made to order / describe what you want' central to the flow.
Key decisions
- Warmth over polish, the brand should feel handmade.
- Lead with made-to-order as the differentiator, not a footnote.
- Quality signals (handmade, sustainable, unique) up front.
What I learned
- For emotional products, tone and imagery are the product.
- Made-to-order is a strength, lean into it rather than hiding it.
Next steps
- A guided custom-order flow.
- Seasonal collections and gifting.
Business potential
Handmade and personalised goods carry strong margins and loyal customers. Clear paths to made-to-order commissions, seasonal drops and gifting.
