About the project

Yebo Fresh is a township-focused eCommerce and logistics company that supplies groceries and essential goods to communities and informal traders.

I worked with Yebo Fresh to design a digital platform that equips local informal retailers with a simple and reliable way to order stock directly from wholesalers through their mobile devices. The goal was to reduce the friction traditionally involved in restocking small community shops and ensure a fast, dependable supply chain experience.

I led the end-to-end UX and UI design process for the Yebo Fresh Ordering Platform, covering the fullcycle from understanding inventory workflows to shaping the sales and fulfilment experience. from understanding inventory workflows to shaping the sales and fulfilment experience. My responsibilities spanned user research, translating operational processes into streamlined digital flows, designing all interfaces and validating the product with stakeholders and real shop owners. Icollaborated closely with product owners, engineers and stakeholder teams to ensure every touchpoint from product browsing to order placement, picking, packing and delivery, was intuitive and aligned with therealities of township retail.
