BEAUTYSTACK — CREATIVE DIRECTION
MARKETING · DIGITAL · SPATIAL DESIGN · CONTENT 

Designing the future of beauty.

Beautystack set out to change the future of work for beauty professionals, building a platform where content, community and booking exist in one seamless experience. Working with founder Sharmadean Reid, we defined the brand foundations and created a distinctive identity for a new generation of beauty entrepreneurs. While the platform was rooted in technology, we introduced a tactile, human quality to the brand, bringing warmth and personality across the app, social, and physical space.
