I supported the promotion of Balmain Hair on the Polish market through editorial collaboration with Vogue Polska.
Acting on behalf of the client, I was responsible for managing the collaboration and delivering all required materials for publication.
My role included:
• Direct contact and coordination with the Vogue Polska editorial team
• Preparation of visual assets (design and layout adaptation for print & digital)
• Copywriting and content development aligned with brand messaging
• Ensuring consistency with Balmain’s global visual identity and tone of voice
The communication focused on translating the brand’s luxury, fashion heritage, and hair couture positioning into an editorial format that resonates with a premium audience.

Curious: What’s missing in most brand systems, in your opinion?
For me, the brand guidelines system we develop at Heed Collective must be a living document — one that supports the brand in real decision-making, across teams, contexts, and moments of growth.
Building structures that guide how a brand behaves, adapts, and scales across every touchpoint.
What makes it work:
— decision-making logic, not just rules
— flexible systems, not static files
— consistency with room to evolve
We don’t launch brands — we build culture for humans, ethically.
And one thing we always add:
→ Brand Culture Layer — translating strategy into how the brand speaks, acts, and shows up in the world.
Awesome!
Is minimalist design actually simple, or just harder to get right?
Across all my skincare packaging projects, the approach is the same. Minimal does not mean empty. It means every detail works twice as hard. Constraints are what make the design work.
Most of the work happens in what you barely notice. Adjusting typography so it feels editorial, not generic. Letting spacing create hierarchy and make reading effortless. Removing anything that does not serve the product. If it is decorative, bye. 👋🏼
When everything is reduced, every decision becomes visible. There is nowhere to hide.
What is the first thing you remove to make a design feel cleaner?
Minimalist done right is actually the hardest skill. Everything here earns its place on the label
1/ Most B2B tech companies aren't under performing they're under communicating, what do I mean about that?
There's a concept I use with every client before we open Figma and it's called the Credibility Gap.
It's the distance between what your company actually is, so that would be the product, team, traction, roadmap and what your brand communicates when someone lands on your website.
Most growth stage B2B companies have this problem because they built the brand early and never revisited it, while the product grew up, the brand didn't.
So now you're pitching enterprise deals with a visual identity that says "bootstrap stratup" and you're losing to competitors half your size who just look more polished. Your best prospects Google you, see a site that screams Series A, and quietly downgrade their expectations before the first call.
The credibility gap is real and most companies don't even know they have it. Brand growing alongside the product is key
