SPRING – Calm is calling

For this campaign, we developed a new highlighted silo style which sits alongside lifestyle rooms to alert consumers to these elevated products at competitive prices. Our deliverables for this project consisted of a landing page featuring weekly flips, along with eye-catching skinny banners and traffic drivers.  We included the Now Trending visual identity cues, along with social videos covering all categories such as living room, bed, bath, decor, dining, and kitchen.

Japandi – New Year New You

The design we created blends Japandi style, merging Japanese artistry with Scandinavian comfort. Focused on simplicity, natural elements, and sustainability, it was entirely done in CGI. Key features include muted colors, clean lines, natural light, greenery, and a seamless indoor/outdoor flow.

BACK TO COLLEGE / BACK TO SCHOOL / SMALL SPACES

For this campaign I suggested using grid lines, sleek, translucent surfaces, and neon lights to create a modern feel. I recommended the use of warmer neutrals, pastels, and teals to create gender-fluid spaces that appeal to everyone.
