Modernising Legacy Brands

Cadac South Africa & SunUp Solar
Transforming traditional brands into digital leaders through trust-first design and e-commerce optimisation.

Case Study 1: SunUp Solar

In the competitive energy market, trust is currency. SunUp Solar needed to distinguish itself as a market leader.

  • Trust-First Design: I prioritised a “clarity-over-clutter” aesthetic, using transparent information hierarchies to establish immediate credibility for high-ticket solar purchases.
  • Hybrid Architecture: Designed a site that functions as both an educational brochure for homeowners and a streamlined shop for industry professionals.
  • Full Identity: I designed the full brand identity from the ground up, ensuring a unified customer experience across vehicle livery, uniforms, and digital touchpoints.

Case Study 2: Cadac South Africa

Cadac is a heritage brand facing pressure from digital-first competitors.

  • Differentiation: I designed a bespoke interface that prioritised brand storytelling alongside transaction, avoiding the “cookie-cutter” e-commerce look.
  • Dual-Sided UX: Optimised the backend workflow for “shop owners” (Cadac’s internal team) while delivering a seamless, fully responsive shopping journey for customers.
  • Outcome: Successfully launched a platform that allowed a traditional retail brand to compete head-to-head with modern startups.
