I'm new here, I have a few projects in the pipeline so wanted to share something I worked on earlier in the year.
A brand that lives in the underground for the people who make it. I made the brand and strategy for Afters, from problem to concept to copy and creating the brand world.
I pulled from the culture and visual language of the scene to create a brand that feels like it's always existed, instantly building trust with the right people.

What’s your first impression of GroundWork? 👀☕
Hot take: aesthetics and clinical results should walk hand in hand.
Most brands in this space lean into cold, sterile whites or aggressive dark tones. It reads functional, but it also feels like something you'd hide in a medicine cabinet, not display on your vanity.
For this rebrand, we anchored the identity in classical beauty and organic sophistication. By combining warm earthy tones, botanical cues, and timeless iconography, we moved away from the "pharmacy product" feel into true high-end personal care.
It was a deliberate shift: positioning the brand not for someone who feels like they are treating a flaw, but for someone investing in a premium daily ritual.
Would a piece like this deserve a spot on your display shelf?
