Case study · Platforms & apps
One umbrella.
Every origin.
OriginMade.org is the umbrella organisation that helps micro, small and medium businesses trade directly with global customers through trusted country platforms. I built the umbrella site and every platform attached to it, and I'm now building the OriginMade e-commerce app.

01 · The idea
Local makers, global buyers.
OriginMade partners with authentic local producers (artisans, family businesses and cooperatives) and gives each country its own trusted marketplace. Every product is verified at its origin. The umbrella site explains the mission, lists every country and recruits new country partners.
I architected it as a network. originmade.org sits at the centre with the country directory, how-it-works, events, a blog, press releases and a join-us flow. Each [country]made.direct platform runs its own store, with news.originmade.org as the shared media room.

The OriginMade

Next up is a dedicated OriginMade shopping app that brings the country platforms to mobile. I'm building it now, alongside running the websites and servers it will connect to.
