US House of Representatives
eCommerce Store

Big task. Short deadline. Delivering an expertly designed eCommerce site for Congress.

⁰¹ Problem

The US House of Representatives was operating with an outdated internal e-commerce platform that was in dire need of modernization. The challenge was twofold: revamp the design to align with modern shopping platforms and improve the backend development. Critical new functionality was needed to allow shoppers to ship items to their homes (a result of Covid). All of this had to be accomplished within a tight 10-day deadline.

⁰² Approach

Given the time-sensitive nature of the project, a rapid design and development cycle was essential. I took charge of the design aspect, focusing on creating a user-friendly interface inspired by modern shopping platforms and design systems. The goal was to make the platform as intuitive as possible for the end-users, while also ensuring seamless backend integration.

⁰³ Solution

The project was a success, delivering a modernized internal e-commerce platform within the stipulated 10-day timeframe. The design was well-received for its clean, intuitive layout and ease of use. The success of the project led the client to retain us for the modernization of two additional internal e-commerce sites, further validating the effectiveness of the initial overhaul.
