ArtisanCraft Marketplace

E-commerce platform helping artisans increase sales by 300%

Project Overview

ArtisanCraft is a marketplace connecting artisans creating handmade goods with conscious consumers. Their existing platform was difficult for sellers to use and didn't effectively showcase the stories behind products.
