First scope of work
While the initial ask from Youswim was to adapt their current site to accomodate for the addition of the new size (Stretch II), the original site had many usability issues.
Working with a very limited budget and collaborating closely with a developer, I advocated for and prioritized options for usability and accessibility improvements. These improvements include adding filter functionality, clarifying hierarchy in representing colors, adding hover states, and adjusting color contrast.

Brand refresh
Motion is leveraged to represent change over time, as well as shifting gradient, and a new typeface with expressive variable type treatments to their elevated approach to art direction.

User Testing
Aysnc usability testing was conducted to discover any pain points especially around purchasing the suit and understanding the core brand concept of two-sizes-fit-most. Part of the concerns were around balancing expressive brand design with usability.
I created a report with analysis as well as a list of suggested iterations from low-to-high design and development efforts.
