PAINTED LEOPARD
Painted Leopard brings the unique coffee culture of El Salvador to the Bay Area. I partnered with the founders to launch their digital flagship, translating a static visual identity into a fully responsive, award-winning e-commerce experience that seamlessly blends rich storytelling with robust inventory management.
From Static Concept to Award-Winning Experience
The challenge was to take a series of static design concepts and transform them into a dynamic web system. I owned the end-to-end development, meticulously recreating the brand's unique illustrative style with custom interactions and fluid animations. I focused heavily on responsiveness, ensuring the site felt as warm and curated on a mobile phone as it did on a desktop.
Beyond the front-end visuals, I engineered the full e-commerce backend to handle orders and inventory for their expanding footprint of pop-up shops across the Bay Area. The final build was recognized with a design award for its digital presentation, providing a stable, high-performance foundation for the brand as they expanded to national coffee expos.
