The Challenge.

Sanderson Design Group, a heritage brand with over 160 years of design history, needed a suite of modern digital experiences that could serve two very different audiences: luxury consumers and trade professionals. I led the design across three ecommerce platforms: a centralised B2B Trade Hub and two B2C sites for the Sanderson and Harlequin brands. The aim was to deliver a high-end experience that felt cohesive across all touchpoints while giving each brand its own distinct visual identity.

The original platforms were fragmented, with outdated UX patterns and limited flexibility for internal teams. Trade users needed a more efficient way to order samples and manage complex projects while consumer audiences expected an intuitive and visually rich shopping experience. All of this had to be delivered through a single scalable component system, ensuring consistency, ease of development and long-term maintainability.

B2C - Sanderson & Harlequin.

Translating high-end brand identities into elegant, shoppable experiences — all built from a shared design system tailored to feel unique across Sanderson and Harlequin.

B2B - Trade Hub.

Designing a centralised Trade Hub to support complex user needs — from bulk ordering to project management — while streamlining an outdated backend and aligning everything to a modern, scalable component system.

The Outcome.

The final platforms delivered a consistent and scalable experience across all three sites, tailored to the needs of both trade and consumer users. The B2B Trade Hub streamlined complex workflows, while the B2C sites elevated the brand presence and made browsing and purchasing more intuitive. The shared design system has since been adopted across other brands in the group, supporting faster rollout and easier maintenance.
