Padobox
Building Trust Through Delivery-Phase Content Design
Project Overview
A seafood direct-trade platform connecting small-scale fishermen with customers.
Designed a storytelling feature that turns delivery wait time into community-driven engagement.
The Problem Isn’t the Fish,
It’s the Silence
Even though Padobox offers fresh fish and fair prices, users were still hesitant to buy.

“Although I value fair trade and the quality of fresh fish, the uncertainty in delivery times and variables makes me hesitant to purchase.”
