Skin-first fragrance is not just perfume without alcohol.
It changes the way people use scent.
A body mist, hair mist, water-based perfume, or scented lotion does not live in the same ritual as an eau de parfum. It is closer to skincare, haircare, getting dressed, reapplying, layering, touching up before leaving the house.
So the brand language has to change too.
“Gentle” is not enough.
“Hydrating” is not enough.
The real question is:
Where does this product belong in someone’s day?
After a shower?
In a gym bag?
On hair before going out?
Next to body cream?
As a softer scent for people who do not want a full perfume cloud?
When fragrance moves closer to skin, the product concept needs to become more specific, not more vague.
That is where format becomes strategy.

Nordmørk — Independent Watchmaking Brand Identity
Nordmørk is an independent Norwegian watchmaking concept built around one idea: the whole only reveals itself up close.
The project combines brand strategy, naming, visual identity, art direction, product design, digital experience, social campaign and motion. Inspired by Nordic landscapes, the visual system translates moss, sand, fog and mineral textures into a quiet and precise horological universe.

Bringing an Idea to Life: The Loading Collection
The Loading Collection started as an idea to create more than just journals—it became a brand centered around growth, reflection, and becoming the next version of yourself. Through Squarespace, I transformed that vision into a luxury digital experience that blends storytelling, design, and ecommerce into one cohesive brand presence.
The Loading Collection is a luxury ecommerce website created to showcase a collection of guided journals designed to inspire personal growth, self-reflection, and confidence. My goal was to transform three journals into a cohesive, editorial-inspired brand experience using Squarespace. Through elegant typography, cinematic visuals, and thoughtful storytelling, I created a website that feels both premium and inviting while making it easy for visitors to discover and shop the collection.
