US Website
Localization

The structure, the photography, the copy density: all built for Korean shoppers. American consumers landed and bounced. I proposed a full overhaul without being asked.

Website Structure Renewal

I started with the highest-traffic pages, enough to prove the concept before touching the full site. Each page rebuilt from scratch: structure simplified, copy rewritten for American readers, photography redirected to reflect who actually buys.

BEFORE Korean-style · 2021
  • Long product descriptions with clinical data and experiment results
  • Aesthetic product imagery, polished but impersonal
  • Copy full of marketing phrases, not genuinely informative
  • No reviews visible above fold
AFTER Redesigned US · 2022
  • Direct, simple copy: what it is, who it's for
  • Reviews above the fold
  • Ingredient details collapsed by default, expandable if curious
  • Full ingredient list one click away

Aprilskin Edits

I restarted the article section that had gone dormant and created a dedicated editorial section called Aprilskin Edits. Built the structure from scratch, added it to the nav bar, and wrote two of the articles myself. Designed to keep visitors on the site longer and support organic search.

Directed Visuals

The original site used only Korean and white model photography. I directed new photoshoots to reflect who actually buys the product, and to align with the brand's values around diversity, inclusivity, and body positivity.
