This process culminated in a Brand Identity Discovery Report (BIDR) that defined the brand's vision, mission, voice, tone, essence, archetype, and target audience. This was followed by the creation of a comprehensive Brand Identity Style Guide (BISG), ensuring a consistent visual and verbal language across all touchpoints, from logo and typography to color palette and overall brand aesthetics.
Product Discovery and Design
Nonlinear undertook Product Discovery and Design, with a strong focus on UI/UX design. This involved meticulously crafting the digital interfaces and user journeys that would enhance the daily shopping experience for both small business owners managing orders and customers making purchases. The design ensured that the platform was intuitive, efficient, and seamlessly matched the newly defined brand identity and the insights from the BIDR.
