Impact

As digital markets increasingly become the go-to choice for consumers, it’s crucial for businesses to modernize their digital presence, ensuring it is both aesthetically appealing and highly functional.


With this in mind, my goal for ThriftBooks was not only to revitalize their brand and user interface but also to streamline interactions as users navigate their library in search of their next book—keeping them engaged, inspired, and continuously learning throughout the process.


The final result is a streamlined design that feels sophisticated, intuitive, and easy to use.
