Mimoo Baby
A Baby-Shower Gifting Platform, Designed and Built
Mimoo Baby is a baby-shower gifting platform. Expectant parents create their own beautiful, personalized page, and friends and family purchase symbolic, hand-illustrated "gifts". The parents then receive the cash equivalent, free to buy what they truly need. I designed the brand and the product, then built it on top of WordPress with custom development.
Project Goals
- ✓ Design a sensitive and trustworthy brand identity.
- ✓ Create a seamless, intuitive user experience.
- ✓ Build a fully functional, scalable platform on top of WordPress.
Challenges & Solutions
Elevating the Guest Experience
The platform needed to transform a simple transaction into a meaningful act of giving. By focusing on a beautiful, personalized registry page that tells the mother's story and using charming illustrations as symbolic gifts, we created an emotional and memorable connection.
Building a Scalable MVP
The challenge was to build a user-friendly MVP that was also a solid foundation for future growth. A modular development strategy using custom PHP functions created a lightweight yet robust platform, ensuring new features can be added with minimal friction.

Body and paragraph copy.

All headings use 'Comfortaa' for a soft, rounded, and approachable feel. Body copy is set in 'Rubik' for optimal readability. H6 is styled for use as an accent label.
