Introduction
BlockApps is a Series B blockchain technology startup.
At Blockapps, I am a UI/UX and branding designer and focus on helping them build a
Web3 e-commerce platform -Mercata.
I worked directly with the co-founder, VP of the App Team, and senior software engineers to rebrand the entire Web3 marketplace. I also designed features and translated them into tailwind.css to ensure seamless deployment by the software engineers. Additionally, I tested the entire system’s user flow and brainstormed strategies to enhance customer experience and maximize profit.

Iteration
When I joined BlockApps, they were transitioning into e-commerce and establishing Mercata as an independent platform.
So, my first task is to re-design entire homepage and increase revenue.

My Wallet
Mercata is a blockchain-based e-commerce startup that differentiates itself from other NFT platforms by focusing on unlocking real-world assets on-chain. This means users can purchase items and own their digital ownership while also having the option to redeem them in the physical world.
​
The product team’s functional requirement for this feature was to display five columns:
Assets, Quantity, Price, Price Change, and Value. The page would list the platform’s assets and display both START (the native currency) and USD together.​​​

My Wallet Iteraction
As the product continued to evolve, the initially defined functions no longer aligned with its development direction, necessitating iteration.
Now, it needs to bridge other cryptocurrencies into our chain. Additionally, since the NFT assets have unique characteristics—such as fluctuating prices—the page will function as a portfolio dashboard, allowing users to track their asset values over time.

My Transaction
My task here is to optimize the wireframe and convert it into a high-fidelity prototype and support the developer in putting it into production.
It needs to include an action bar that allows users to transfer, mint, and purchase items.
Additionally, it needs to ensure that key transaction details such as transaction hash, product item name, thumbnail,
quantity, and price.
