At a glance

Reframed a checkout optimization brief into a dual-audience strategy — one website serving retail buyers and franchise investors simultaneously.


Overview

Vulcano is a Vietnamese men's fashion brand with an active franchise model. The redesign started as a standard e-commerce fix — and became something far more strategic once I understood who was actually visiting the site and why.


My Role

  • Led end-to-end design — from stakeholder research through to final visual execution

  • Conducted stakeholder interviews and business model review before any design work

  • Owned UX strategy, information architecture, and visual system

Problems

#

Audience

Problem

1

Retail Buyers

Couldn't find products clearly or feel confident purchasing online

2

Franchise Investors

Visited to evaluate the brand — found an unconvincing, low-credibility experience


Method

  • Ran stakeholder interviews to uncover the dual-audience problem the brief never mentioned

  • Defined 3 strategic filters: convert buyers / build investor confidence / extend reach beyond stores

  • Applied those filters to every design decision — nothing went in unless it served at least one


Key Results

Outcome

Impact

Information architecture

One IA serving two journeys — retail purchase and franchise evaluation

Visual system

Elevated to match quality of physical showrooms

Product pages

Reduced decision friction for buyers

Business impact

Supported store expansion across 4 cities, 2021–2025


Reflection

The most important decision wasn't visual — it was choosing to understand the business before opening Figma. When you design for two audiences with one interface, every element has to earn its place twice.
