02 / Challenge

Challenge

Kit needed a refreshed identity that could feel more elevated and scalable without losing the softness, intimacy, and editorial tone that made the brand distinct.

Opportunity

Clarify Kit's visual point of view after acquisition and create a system that could support campaign storytelling, digital marketing, and commerce without becoming generic.

My Role

Led brand design and creative strategy across the refresh, defining the visual language and extending it into customer-facing applications.

Brand Applications

The refreshed identity scales into email and launch marketing touchpoints, translating Kit's editorial softness into customer-facing brand moments.

Reflection

This project demonstrates how a brand refresh becomes stronger when it is treated as a system, not a surface change. The most important decisions were about restraint: preserving Kit's softness, tightening its visual consistency, and proving the identity could scale without losing its editorial sensibility.
