Shimmer Beauty
COSMETICS BRAND
For this project, the task was to develop a consumer brand that required a landing page, four email designs, and an app.
UI/UX BrandingThe primary goal was to acquire user information to turn them into leads.
Aimed to encourage users to continually interact with the brand and incentivize them to regularly purchase products.
The main focus was on new users, with an emphasis on engaging onboarding screens that clearly demonstrate the value of the app to the user immediately.
Solution:
I created a beauty brand called Shimmer Beauty that prioritizes inclusivity and individuality. Shimmer celebrates freedom of expression and meets consumers where they are in their makeup journey to showcase their unique shine. Everyone deserves to be a star, regardless of their makeup knowledge, preferred style, occupation, or lifestyle.

Email Designs
Project Goals
The emails aim to encourage users to continually interact with the brand and incentivize them to regularly purchase products. These would come after users sign up for email notifications on the landing page. In my research, I discovered that buttons using unique, action-oriented language have a higher click rate than those using common words like "enter" or "submit," which guided my decisions in the copy and call-to-action components throughout the designs.

Project Goals
I aimed to create a clean, intuitive app interface for Shimmer Beauty that consistently represents the brand identity and values. Since this is centered around the first-time user experience, I prioritized immediately demonstrating the app's value through the personalized onboarding questions and tailored reccomendations on the home page.

Challenges
As an artist, I have a personal style and aesthetic. This project challenged me to strategically design a brand and create a user experience for a unique audience. Through my research on user personas and the competitive space, I was able to better understand who I was designing for and communicating to, and create an engaging user experience to meet their needs.
