Sneakerrap

Sneakerrap is an on-demand service platform offering specialised sneaker care, premium products, and seamless pickup-and-delivery. Designed for B2C customers in South Africa, starting with Cape Town, the system allows users to select custom care packages tailored to their preferences and feedback.

As a startup, the focus was on building only what the user truly needed – no unnecessary pages or fluff. My approach started with competitor research, then broadened into looking at cross-industry companies with similar philosophies. This helped shape a product roadmap that wasn’t just about UI, but also tied into how the business could scale.

Building a 0→1 startup demanded flexibility, fast decision-making, and often sacrificing work-life balance to meet critical deadlines. Despite challenges, I helped build a strong, collaborative remote team and led rapid iterations to deliver a functional MVP on time, laying a solid foundation for growth.
