The Challenge

A children's clothing retailer, originally Catimini USA, went through a complete rebranding. They were no longer going to carry the Catimini brand and instead would carry between 8-12 brands as a curated collection. So not only did they need a completely new name and concept, they needed to retain current customers and shift the target market for new ones.

Constraints

  • Navigation change to account for more brands and product categories
  • Finding a link between the curated brands to make a cohesive voice for content and visual design
  • Mobile usage jumped from 45% to 70%

Competitive Analysis

Melijoe Paris, Childrensalon, and Kids Around are our competitors in the field. Kids Around represents our sister company in France which we adapted for the U.S. market. The others are much larger in scale with many more international brands than we have, so we will have to adapt what we can learn from them for a smaller boutique while still making it scalable.

Catimini
With the Catimini brand a large portion of my job was visual design and I gave a complete facelift to the website. I also merged the backend of the site from Magento to Shopify to work better for mobile experiences and had a hand in navigation decisions. I created Email campaigns and other marketing assets for the brand as well. I worked on all aspects of the product from frontend to back and added key features that our users needed for flow of the checkout process as well as some to showcase the quality of our brand such as a personalized lookbook for our campaigns.
