Cannabis in a Suit & Tie

Designing a point-of-sale and entry portal for an inventory management platform required balancing usability, compliance, and revenue goals within the cannabis industry. The product needed to serve multiple audience segments—operators, retailers, and new customers—each with different motivations and levels of familiarity.

My role was to define a clear experience system that aligned business conversion goals with user clarity and trust.

Strategy & Approach

The core challenge was navigation and intent. Different users were entering the experience for different reasons, but the previous system treated them the same.

I reframed the experience around distinct pathways. Each audience segment had a defined entry point and guided progression. Calls to action were structured as intentional funnels—either building credibility through education or guiding directly into the purchase flow.

This was less about redesigning screens and more about clarifying direction. When users understand where they are and where they are going, friction drops.

Splitting a personality

The homepage hero visually bridges the POS and inventory management products through a subtle animated transition. The motion is intentional—it communicates that the solutions are connected without overwhelming the user.

Micro interactions reinforce state changes and progress. Clear visual hierarchy reduces cognitive load. Every interaction answers three questions:

  • Where am I?
  • What can I do?
  • What happens next?

As an Art Director, protecting clarity and cohesion across the system was critical. Animation, gradient shifts, and parallax were used with restraint. They support the story; they are not the story.

Key features

  • Structured entry funnels aligned to user intent
  • Sticky navigation reinforcing orientation
  • Resource hub to support trust-building
  • Streamlined cart and checkout flow with advanced payment handling
  • Cohesive interaction language across POS and inventory modules

Intuitive Flow and Enhanced Interactions

Micro-animations and clear visual hierarchy guide users through their progress and actions, improving clarity and experience. Key features include an engaging sticky header, a comprehensive resources section, and a streamlined cart and checkout process with advanced payment options, ensuring a smooth transaction experience.
