The brief

Northwind's creators had outgrown their patched-together stack — three SaaS tools held together by Zapier and goodwill. Live shopping was on the roadmap and impossible on the existing setup.

What we built

UX

A workflow, not a feature list

We mapped the creator's full week, from idea to revenue. Then collapsed five tabs into one surface.

Engineering

One platform, real infra

A monorepo, a real database, and event-driven pipelines for live streams, orders, and payouts.

Design

Calm, professional, brandable

A theme system so each creator's storefront feels like theirs, not ours.

2.4×

creator earnings within the first quarter, with no growth in support volume.

Next project

Project ThreeA medtech onboarding flow that lifted activation by 38%.
