Arive is a German quick-commerce brand delivering premium fashion in two hours. The mobile app was already loved; the webshop hadn’t kept up. Arive’s VP of Product wanted to verify quality fast, so we led with a paid free-trial sprint on the actual problem (navigation and grid) instead of a pitch deck. One senior product designer, days of output. The contract followed.
The designer joined Arive’s product team as part of the in-house pod: daily scrums with the PM and engineers, live syncs with QA, CEO review on the rebuild. Five surfaces rebuilt end-to-end (navigation, search, PDP, checkout, on-demand curation) on a four-breakpoint responsive grid baked into the design system. Marketing ships campaign pages on demand; conversion and AOV both climbed.
