    Colour with Confidence by L'Oréal POS
    In the Indian post-pandemic context, L’Oréal aimed to enhance engagement in the haircolor category by leveraging consumer insights to shift perceptions. To bridge the gap between retail shelves and salon-like confidence, the team studied shopper behavior, category dynamics, and cultural haircolor habits across India. Insights-driven retail interventions were developed to standardize the in-store experience, simplify navigation, and communicate expertise across large retail chains. Across all concepts, the strategy focused on building trust, simplifying decision-making, and elevating the boxed haircolor experience. The final POSM system blended technology, clear planogramming, and intuitive communication to create a cohesive journey. Interactive shade tools, before–after references, and logical product organisation helped shoppers understand undertones, coverage, and suitability. Visual language was aspirational yet relatable, combining on-trend hair colour imagery with expert tips. Structural elements, lighting, and materials were selected to make the zone feel premium without intimidating shoppers. The redesigned in-store experience reinvigorated the hair color category and successfully shifted consumer attention toward boxed formats. Shoppers reported greater confidence in shade selection, increased willingness to explore new looks, and improved perception of L’Oréal’s expertise. Retailers saw enhanced engagement around the hair color shelves, stronger premium visibility, and a more intuitive path to purchase. The project established a new benchmark for hair color merchandising in India, demonstrating how thoughtful strategy, design, and storytelling can transform consumer behavior and elevate an entire category. https://www.twine.net/signin graphicdesigner branding designer loreal pointofsale merchandising design planogram…

    Babylips By Maybelline
    The idea for Baby Lips came from a simple insight: young consumers wanted care that looked edgy and fun. They were drawn to makeup, but still needed protection and hydration. The goal was to bridge skincare and self-expression — to make lip balm feel as desirable as a lipstick. The concept is framed around “lip care with attitude.” The design is bold, playful, and instantly recognizable, something that could live in a teen’s handbag as much as on Instagram. When launched, Baby Lips didn’t just sell — it shifted the category. Lip balm became a beauty accessory, and hydration turned into a lifestyle statement. Baby Lips proved that even a small object could carry a big idea: make care playful, and beauty becomes a key driver. maybelline babylips packagingdesigner graphicdesigner designer branding…

    Nexus malls rebranding by Blackstone group
    Shifting from being a B2B brand to a B2C brand with a connect to its 15 existing mall sub-brands across India, Nexus wanted to build a cohesive brand identity. The category audits revealed that Indian consumers prioritize mall environments and experience: Nexus needed to move beyond being just a retail destination to an elevated mall experience with a hospitality element — a place where visitors could reconnect with each other. In a post-pandemic world, people sought optimism, color, and connection — an antidote to the digital fatigue of e-commerce and isolation. The brand repositioning is around the theme of “Rediscovering Zest for Life.” The brand narrative centered around “Happyness”, rediscovery, and human connection — reimagining malls as living, breathing environments for joy, community, and celebration. The new identity empowered Nexus Malls to transition from a property manager to an experiential lifestyle brand. The brand’s renewed warmth, vibrancy, and inclusivity fostered a more welcoming environment — strengthening emotional connection with visitors, partners, and retailers alike. By embracing the promise of “Rediscovering Zest for Life,” Nexus positioned itself as India’s most joyful and human-centric mall brand — one that celebrates living life in full colour. https://www.twine.net/signin graphicdesigner branding designer brandidentity nexusmalls nexus purple design…
