John Paul Mitchell Systems
A longstanding wellknown brand name within the beauty and haircare industry, John Paul Mitchell Systems was undergoing a company-wide restage with the goal to modernize and elevate the brand, packaging, and photography. As an Art Director at JPMS, I led and participated in many projects to support this transition.

This project involved creating a digital Product Guide for the many brands within the JPMS umbrella. The digital platform had to feel simple yet modern, easy to navigate and highly interactive, and aesthetically elevated while providing educational value. The overall site had to feel cohesive and representative of all the individual brand identities. To achieve the interactivity and desired visuals, I used Squarespace, plugins (such as Squarekicker) and CSS code. To accomplish the ease of navigation, one solution I created was a hover feature that allowed users to quickly view additional product instructions and benefits without overcrowding the pages.
Here are some examples of the pages that I designed. Some are animated to better represent the ux/ui features.
HOliday Packaging
Featured and sold in US JCPenney stores and online, this packaging set of 3 was created for the Spring Holiday collection. Each design merges the playful JCPenney aesthetic, blossoming florals and soft pastels of spring, and the unique product ingredients of the JPMS brand – including 1) tea tree and eucalyptus, 2) awapuhi, melon and cucumber, and 3) citrus and sunflower. This design collection was selected as the winning design across multiple options provided by several designers company-wide.
This set of designs was created for JCPenney Winter Holiday. The objective was to create a design that felt festive and alluded to the holiday spirit. I created 5 designs for 2 separate brands within JPMS.
In order to fully explore this prompt, I provided many alternate designs for this Winter Holiday project. Here are some of the additional options I created. Each pair represents a unified design for 2 separate brands – Paul Mitchell and Tea Tree – both under the John Paul Mitchell Systems umbrella.
