Project overview

I built the digital backbone for VANTAGE — from the public site to the reservation system, member portal, and CRM integration. This wasn’t just a brochure site; it’s the engine supporting a premium fragrance launch with rituals, limited editions, founder access, and community features.

Problem

The brand needed more than aesthetics — it needed a robust, scalable digital platform that could:

  • Handle a reservation system (limited edition founder boxes, countdowns, tiered pricing)

  • Support gated access to founder-only content

  • Integrate email marketing, membership perks, and automation

  • Maintain brand consistency and polish across user experience

Solution

Developed a custom reservation & queue system to limit founder boxes to 5,000 while capturing demand & waitlist data

  • Built a gated founder’s portal with content, benefits, and community features

  • Integrated CMS + headless content architecture to allow easy updates to rituals, scent pages, FAQs, and more

  • Hooked in email marketing and automation workflows for on‑boarding, drip campaigns, upsells

  • Ensured responsive, high-end UI that matched the visual identity (black/gold, moody lighting, high-end feel)

Impact

Launched VANTAGE with a seamless digital experience, reducing friction in sales and community onboarding

  • Created scarcity & exclusivity via precise reservation handling

  • Elevated the brand — visitors experience the ritual + narrative from first click

  • Enabled future growth: new scent drops, membership tiers, content updates

Conclusion

This project shows how design + software + brand strategy converge. VANTAGE isn’t just about the product — the digital experience is the product. With the right infrastructure, you turned a fragrance brand into a living, interactive code of ritual and identity.
