Technology & Design
BuyDesign is on a mission to make it easier than ever for brands, retailers and manufacturers to find original design ideas and collaborate directly with designers.
Founded by design experts, BuyDesign’s team have worked across design, creative direction, purchasing and investment working with global retailer brands and manufacturers including Alessia, IKEA, John Lewis, Lexon and others.
The Challenge
BuyDesign wanted to build an industry-leading bespoke portal that would enable designers of high quality, creative products (including illustrations, furniture and products) to sell licenses and usage rights of their work.
This member portal would need to be simple to use, secure and intuitive; giving top buyers around the world access to these products so that designers could sell them directly.
The Impact
As BuyDesign was currently operating through Shopify, they were facing restrictions in their ability to expand. Through an immersive design process, our team built an online portal that offers scalability as the platform grows.
The solution also offers dynamic features including a seamless payment management, smart UX design as well as a marketing website at its forefront for easy updates and brand communication.
The Results
This dynamic new platform now allows designers to upload original ideas, propose to companies, respond to briefs and market ideas directly to a vetted, global business audience. For businesses, it gives buyers a dedicated space to discover, brief, receive pitches and license original ideas from vetted international designers.
BuyDesign’s unique customer portal also offers flexibility for expansion and the inclusion of new features; as well as a solid foundation for building an industry-leading community of buyers and designers, all on one platform.
