First, some Context
When I was brought onto Kingdom I was given a blank Figma project, a lengthy Litepaper, and a project that needed before anything a foundation to build on. Kingdom may be the Fashion OS of web3, but at its core it's an online shopping app. To successfully account for this, the initial phase of R&D will aim to build a solid foundation of an eCommerce/ NFT Platform & an MVP environmental impact report

Opportunity Spaces
After reflecting on & discussing our competitive audit, we established that we should utilize common user flows found in eCommerce apps. The best online shopping apps utilize an almost identical application architecture, but lack the visibility that NFT markets offer, and have no method of environmental traceability.

Pain Points
I created 6 pain points, drawing two from each of the following user experiences.
Using NFT Marketplaces
Difficulty understanding and navigating the complex process of buying and selling NFTs. Lack of trust in the authenticity and value of NFTs, making it difficult to make informed purchases.
Using online fashion retailers
Difficulty finding the right fit and size due to lack of accurate product information and measurements. Limited options for trying on or returning clothes, leading to dissatisfaction with purchases.
Environmental Impact
Lack of transparency from companies about their environmental practices & garments impact. Limited options for comparing the environmental impact of different companies in the same industry.
