Brakes wanted to accelerate growth by transforming a fragmented digital estate into a customer-led ecommerce experience.
Customers, prospects and existing account holders were navigating multiple disconnected websites, creating friction across discovery, engagement and ordering journeys.
The business needed a more cohesive and accessible digital experience that would reduce customer frustration, improve usability across complex product catalogues, support self-service and provide a scalable foundation for future digital transformation.

We consolidated customer research, stakeholder interviews, data analysis and customer journey evaluation to understand customer needs, behaviours and motivations.
Using these insights, we designed a unified digital experience centred on customer outcomes rather than internal brand structures, with recipe ideas and useful tools at its core.
We created a flexible design system, developed highly accessible interfaces aligned to WCAG AA standards, introduced intuitive self-service tools and designed end-to-end mobile and desktop experiences that reduced friction across core ecommerce journeys for Brakes and Country Choice.

The result was a customer-centric digital ecosystem that improved usability, accessibility and engagement while creating a scalable foundation for future growth.
