Flo’ence — Product UX/UI Case Study

Flo’ence is a mobile-based art marketplace that connects artists, galleries, and buyers within a unified platform.

 

The product focuses on simplifying discovery across large art collections while maintaining a strong visual emphasis, ensuring that artwork remains the core of the experience rather than the interface itself.

The Challenge

Designing for a digital art marketplace introduced several key challenges:

 

  • Content complexity: Large and diverse artwork inventories created navigation overload
  • Trust barriers: Users hesitated to purchase high-value artwork without physical interaction
  • Experience imbalance: Platforms prioritized listings over user experience
  • Multi-user complexity: Artists, buyers, and galleries required different yet connected workflows

My Role

Led the product design from strategy to execution:

 

  • Defined UX strategy and user experience principles
  • Designed UI/UX and interaction systems
  • Created a scalable design system for consistency
  • Conducted user behavior analysis and flow structuring
  • Collaborated closely with frontend (Flutter) developers for implementation
