Fenty already had a distinct brand identity: inclusive, edgy, and empowering. My role was extending that voice into a mobile-native journey, one that felt personal, shoppable, and educational rather than transactional. I built the experience around Rihanna's conversational tone, an inclusive visual identity carried through diverse models and the "Get the Look" feature, and a mobile-first quiz that filters by skin goals instead of product specs.

To help Gen Z users find their match, the quiz leads with skin goals and intuitive prompts before product specs: how skin reacts to sun exposure, undertone checked against wrist vein color, and a selfie to fine-tune the suggestion. Uncertain answers still move the journey forward, so a "not sure" never becomes a dead end. The logic mirrors Fenty's inclusive, science-backed ethos, guiding users rather than testing them.

This project brought brand storytelling and UX strategy into sync, crafting a digital experience that didn't just look like Fenty, but felt like Fenty. The process sharpened my ability to build intuitive, mobile-first journeys that translate emotion into conversion, while honoring inclusivity, identity, and scale.


This project reinforced the importance of designing around an established identity. By centering education, inclusivity, and confidence within the mobile experience, I learned how brand values can actively guide user behavior rather than simply frame it. Translating Fenty's bold, empowering identity into intuitive flows sharpened my ability to design experiences that feel personal, expressive, and scalable, especially for mobile-first audiences.
