Shopify Website Design, Front-end Development, UI Interaction
Cocktail Gearbox is a home-cocktail brand on a mission to make great drinks easy, approachable, and enjoyable.
The brand already had a strong identity in place, and my role was to bring it to life online - designing a website that feels
effortless to use while reflecting the confidence and quality of the kits themselves. The focus was on clarity,
flow, and creating a relaxed digital experience that guides users from curiosity to that first perfect pour.
Colour
palette
The website’s colour palette was developed to support Cocktail Gearbox’s goal of making
home bartending feel effortless, warm, and unintimidating. Drawing from natural, earthy tones -
the palette creates a grounded visual atmosphere that feels both premium and approachable.
Soft neutrals provide breathing space across the layout, allowing content to feel calm and easy to
navigate, while the warmer golden tones introduce a sense of richness and craft, subtly referencing
cocktail ingredients, wood, and aged spirits. The deeper brown anchors the palette, adding depth
and contrast without overpowering the experience.
In addition to designing the website, I implemented custom front-end interactions
to add moments of delight throughout the experience. One example is the cart
icon, designed as an empty martini glass that fills when items are added - visually
reinforcing the idea of building a drink.
This small interaction adds personality to the interface while giving users immediate,
intuitive feedback, turning a functional element into a playful brand moment.
