NEON — Launching Paul Mitchell’s very first digital native brand

Neon is a style-driven hair care collection designed to empower young women to experiment boldly and own their unique identity. The challenge? Create a brand that feels authentically youthful while honoring Paul Mitchell’s tradition of pairing products with purpose. In this case, partnering with an anti-bullying campaign to reinforce that self-expression and confidence go hand in hand.

My approach centers on contrast and authenticity. I pair stark black-and-white portrait photography with punchy neon yellow accents, hand-drawn graphics, and personal story vignettes. The visual language feels raw and unapologetic, designed to live primarily on digital and social platforms where Gen Z hangs out. The result is a 360° launch that includes brand identity, packaging, an ecommerce site redesign, influencer kits, and a social-first campaign built around real girl ambassadors who embody the “you do you” ethos.

BRAND STRATEGY

Neon yellow + black-and-white contrast = unapologetic authenticity for a generation that values realness over polish.

DIGITAL-FIRST STORYTELLING

Built for screens, not print—from ecommerce to Instagram stories, this campaign lived where Gen Z actually engages.

VISUAL SYSTEM

Hand-drawn graphics and personal story vignettes transformed print collateral and packaging into something that felt less like a product, more like a movement.

PURPOSE-DRIVEN LAUNCH

Partnering with an anti-bullying initiative wasn’t just brand storytelling—it reinforced that style and self-worth go hand in hand. Beauty as empowerment, not just aesthetics.
