In the ideation phase, we employed the 'How Might We' (HMW) approach, followed by brainstorming how to apply the PET (Persuasion, Emotion, and Trust) strategy. Afterward, we conducted a navigation redesign and created a new sitemap.

By identifying and prioritizing these areas early on, we can better streamline our efforts, and ensure that our design solutions are effectively addressing the most critical aspects of the project.

Through this process, we learned that while a story-based approach can be compelling, the primary focus must remain on e-commerce. After multiple iterations, we found the balance by seamlessly integrating the narrative with the product offerings, allowing the story to enhance rather than overshadow the shopping experience.
