The mandate

Give an emerging Detroit cannabis retailer a digital identity with the confidence, culture, and polish to stand apart.

The challenge

The category is crowded with interchangeable visual language. The site needed a more distinctive point of view while still making shopping, deals, and store information immediate.

The strategy

Built the creative direction around Detroit energy and a more editorial brand system, then paired it with a fast framework and clearer high-intent paths.

Methods used

A connected system, not isolated deliverables.

  1. Creative direction and visual-system refinement

  2. Next.js experience architecture

  3. Search-led homepage, shop, and deals messaging

  4. Responsive store and menu pathways

  5. Metadata and local discovery foundations

Business impact
