Client
Glitch Extracts
Overview
Glitch Extracts, a cannabis extract company specializing in vape products, wanted a website that felt more professional, intuitive, and aligned with their "gamer vibe" branding. Their existing website, designed by a developer, lacked usability and cohesion. The client provided a style guide, assets, branding content, and copy, emphasizing the need for a clean and engaging design.

The Challenge
The main challenge was balancing professionalism with Glitch Extracts’ bold and playful gaming-inspired branding. The client wanted a simple yet engaging interface that was easy to navigate without feeling overly busy. Additionally, certain client requests conflicted with UX best practices, requiring thoughtful explanations and compromises.
The Solution
I conducted an in-depth analysis of the existing website and reviewed inspiration websites with the client to identify preferred elements. I collaborated closely with their graphic designer to integrate updated assets while ensuring brand consistency. Through weekly meetings, we iterated on designs, refining the structure to maintain both UX best practices and the client’s vision. I provided recommendations when proposed changes risked usability issues, ensuring a balance between aesthetics and function.
