Shopsy
Shopsy is a social mobile e-commerce solution for Instagrams Millions of Brands and Retailers.
In 2013, Myself (Lead Product Designer) along with my Two Co-Founders raised $100,000 in seed funding to create a small startup to bring our idea to life.
We saw a hole on Instagram with a lack of direct links or options to buy the products individuals saw and liked on the platform.
Our solution was to create a platform both Users and Retailers would use. Without losing the clients already amassed followers, or without users needing to curate a brand new subscription feed.
Looking back, its funny to see some glaring holes in a product reliant on a major social giants API. But these were some of the most important life lessons I had, all learned on the job.
