I independently built StitchIt, a marketplace concept for finding and comparing local tailoring services, from the first idea through design and development to a deployed web app. The live app currently uses the name SilaiHub; this case study uses StitchIt as the portfolio project title.

StitchIt.
A tailoring marketplace I built from scratch, from first idea to live web app.
THE PRODUCT
Bring a traditionally offline service into a clear digital journey. Customers need ways to find a suitable tailor and understand service options; tailors need a visible route to present their work and receive orders.
I built the product from scratch, taking it from initial concept through UX/UI design and development to deployment. I shaped the experience around both sides of the marketplace: customers discovering and comparing services, and tailors presenting their services and entering the platform.
A marketplace journey from discovery to order updates.
The live build presents discovery filters for tailoring categories, location-aware browsing, profile comparison, measurement entry, order progress, and customer/tailor account paths. These are observations of the deployed interface, not findings from user research or confirmation that every displayed marketplace record is a live business.
DESIGN FOCUSProduct direction: make the service, the person providing it, and the next step easier to understand before a customer commits to an order.
What the experience makes easier.
Three product decisions drawn from the publicly available build. The visual below is an illustration, not a captured product screen.
Bring service, location, and sorting into one browse step.
Search, service filters, location, and sorting help customers narrow the marketplace before opening a tailor profile.
The public browse page exposes a search field, location action, tailoring-category filters, and sort choices.Give profile cards a consistent comparison structure.
The browse cards bring identity, verification/availability labels, service categories, displayed price ranges, and response details into a scan-friendly unit.
The public browse view presents those fields on tailor cards; their underlying accuracy is not independently verified.Show what happens after a customer chooses.
The product's public homepage introduces measurements, order progress, and customer/tailor paths as connected parts of the service.
The live homepage presents measurement and order-progress examples; they are not treated here as verified transaction outcomes.These are design rationale and screen evidence, not measured user or business outcomes.
What I built from the ground up.
The delivered work is a deployed web app that brings customer-facing tailor discovery and order-related flows together with tailor-facing entry points. Ratings, customer/order counts, savings, and service assurances shown in the demo are unverified display content, not claimed project results.
