Project Goals

Issimi are a startup in the luxury online automotive auction space, aiming to be a comprehensive auction and management house for luxury buyers. They tasked Brandwidth with simplifying the online auction experience for their customers.

  • Expand upon Issimi’s existing brand identify (initially just the logo and two shades of green)
  • Apply new branding throughout UI components with a uniform set of sizes, styles, and spacing that would add to a uniform auction experience
  • Clean up the auction flow and make it more seamless, while still including security/verification checks
  • Consolidate the sitemap to be more lean

My Role

As the design lead on this project, every decision had my fingerprints on it. Starting from the ground up, I worked with stakeholders to develop clearer brand foundations based around their existing logo to position them within the market and inform all communications.

Next was wireframing, lo-fi designs, and user research (big thanks to Millie Spalding) to cover public-facing, login side, and Deluxe Membership-specific flows, actions, and assets. We eventually developed an easy, clean interface which ensured the process of buying and selling classic cars, now backed by industry-leading identity verification and payment security.

Outcome and Conclusion

The platform is scalable, multi-lingual and easy to deploy, meeting the legislative requirements of all interacting parties throughout North America and the EU. This ensures peace of mind for all participating sellers, and a safe and seamless experience for their customers.
