Challenge

Selling socks online with a variety of materials, textures, and models to consumers in an industry fierce with competition is hard enough. Add constantly shifting inventory, world-wide transportation setbacks, an ever evolving brand with a start-up mentality and you're in for a ride.

Thinking

Paired with a team of witty copywriters, access to great photography, and feature packed products, my team and I developed visual assets that not only spoke to the needs our target demographics but also enriched the brand along the way, all while keeping business goals in mind.

The Work

Email Design

Alongside a copywriter, I designed multiple weekly segmented emails highlighting new campaign launches, new products, fresh features, and marketing initiatives. Daily challenges included adapting to constantly evolving inventory, adjusting the narrative to meet marketing key value propositions, selecting the right photography assets, or leveling briefs that at times didn’t quite meet our standards for a strong send.

Paired with a peer designer, I co-art directed and oversaw all aspects of this photoshoot from creative concept through final capture. I worked alongside the photographer, stylist, and production team to direct product placement, styling, models, framing, and visual storytelling. This collection sold out in a week.
