This design concept showcases a vibrant and modern mobile e-commerce interface created for a sneaker retail brand. The goal is to capture user attention through bold visuals, smooth interaction, and a clean layout that emphasizes the product’s identity and energry. The result is a visually immersive and energetic shopping interface that transforms the simple act of viewing sneakers into an engaging brand experience. The design blends motion.

I applied for a Graphic Designer position at Coalition Technologies. In addition to answering several questions re my problem solving style and work flow, they asked me to complete a "test" that I found highly problematic. It was basically a request to design a logo and 4-6 carousel banners for one of their new clients AND upload my vector and image files. This sounds like a way to rip off artists by getting them to do free work under the guise of an interview. Highly unethical. And shame on Glassdoor for allowing those type of predatory postings. Attached is a screen shot of what they required as part of a job submission.
