– Hobby market pro
This project focused on launching a B2B e-commerce platform for trading cards and collectibles tied to sports and gaming. While the U.S. collectibles market is enormous, most existing platforms lag behind in usability and design.
The founders knew the market inside and out—they just needed the right product team to translate that expertise into a seamless, modern experience. We stepped in to design and build a platform that feels intuitive, fast, and tailored to how serious collectors and dealers actually operate. See live page.

We partnered with the client to design and build a feature-rich platform tailored to the needs of a highly engaged buyer and seller community. The process included deep user discovery, focused design sprints, and fast-paced MVP development—anchored in a shared vision from day one.
The success of this project came from starting with listening. We benchmarked the industry, conducted in-depth interviews with the client, and surfaced the real pain points of both buyers and sellers. This insight shaped a laser-focused MVP that we could launch and refine quickly. The result: a seamless, purpose-built platform that delivers real value to a niche audience with high standards and high engagement.
