Overview

A playful Australian brand, built into a complete shopping experience.

Cheers Mate is an e-commerce brand offering custom merchandise inspired by Australian beer culture and Aussie slang. The website was designed to bring that personality into a clean, intuitive shopping experience across desktop and mobile.

  3. Responsive by design

    Build a consistent purchase journey across desktop and mobile layouts.

UI Elements

Key Design Decisions

Designed around the moments that matter.

  • 01/ Product discovery

    Product-first browsing

    Large imagery, restrained cards and simple categories keep attention on the merchandise.

  • 02/ Purchase

    Clear purchase actions

    Options, quantity and cart actions are grouped together to make the next step obvious.

  • 03/ Continuity

    Quick cart access

    The cart drawer lets shoppers review their selection without losing their browsing context.

  • 04/ System states

    No dead ends

    Empty, confirmation and failure states provide clear feedback throughout the experience.

Responsive Design

One experience. Every screen.

Layouts were adapted rather than simply scaled, prioritising product imagery, actions and content differently on smaller screens.

Outcome & Reflection

A complete e-commerce concept built from brand to checkout.

The project brought together brand direction, responsive interface design and a complete set of shopping states into one consistent system. The final design established a strong digital direction for Cheers Mate while strengthening my approach to designing scalable e-commerce experiences.
