Portfolio

Two self-initiated brands, each built from a single feeling. Together they show how I take an idea through research and strategy to identity, product and content.

Portfolio

Two brands, two feelings

Both built from a first feeling to a brand book, a product and launch content.

01 · Luxury hair adornment

Hairloom Maison

A luxury hair adornment maison built around self-reverence: honouring the woman you have become and the girl you once were.

Process

How I build a brand

The two brands look nothing alike, but they were built the same way.

  1. 01

    Identify the feeling

    A feeling worth building around: self-reverence for Hairloom, saudade for Véra Helmina.

  2. 02

    Shape the product

    Translate the feeling into objects: French hair pins and natural stone jewellery.

  3. 03

    Define the strategy

    Positioning, audience, values and what makes the brand different.

  4. 04

    Build the visual world

    Mood, colour, typography, imagery and the codes everything else follows.

  5. 05

    Create the content strategy and content

    Brand books, photography, films and social content that carry the story.

Content

Content I have created, by type

Photography, films, brand books and social content from both brands, each linked to the project it belongs to.
