Homepolish / Collection_2

Collection was a service that allowed for Interior Designers to organize all of their purchases on a per-client basis through their Homepolish Dashboard.

The following covers phase 2 of 3 for this project. Where the first phase kept the tool exclusive to designers, this second phase adds a layer of interactivity with the client.

Homepolish was a company that connected clients with interior designers for various sized renovation and design projects. The work included tools to help gauge price bracket – making sure scope complemented the designer’s availability – and a comprehensive tool that allowed seamless collaboration when parties were working remotely. It was a lot of fun designing tools for other designers and the CEO was a great like-minded collaborator.

This phase of the project introduced the ability for the designer to send options of a specific top-level list item to the client. The client can give feedback in the form of quick yes/no/maybe actions or respond with a question instead.
This form of collaborative feedback not only helps streamline the project but allows for transparency and input on both sides.
Placeholder Images:
After some in-house testing we realized that these were immediately needed. Most designers were quickly adding to-do items without filling out all the details - without an associated image.
Not only did we need default images for items without an image, we also needed to create a container icon that represented a top-level item with options nested within it. Both needed to feel somewhat branded without visually weighing down the list.
