Wireframing
One of Thrive Market's key challenges is low user engagement—from browsing to making a purchase. Mission here, is to rethink the entire flow, ensuring a seamless shopping experience that is both visually appealing and functional. 
Another challenge is, need to accommodate varying amounts of product information—some items may have extensive details, while others have just a few sections—all while maintaining a cohesive and intuitive design.


In parallel, I started exploring how to bring everything together and created the first working prototype based on rough wireframes to see the whole picture.





Information Architecture and User Flow
Based on client and user research, a visual framework was developed to identify the main messages and motivators for the membership service.
