The LOOKlauncher case study

A beauty platform imagined across marketing, editorial, professional profiles, and a mobile client-management product.

A creative outlet for Looks

The project began with one organizing idea: beauty professionals needed a place to document work, build a visible portfolio, and connect that work back to clients.

Embrace. Promote. Launch.

Those three verbs became the public website's narrative, the campaign copy, and the product model. Clients would discover styles and professionals. Artists would capture, organize, and publish their work.

The live website made the promise carefully. It marketed an app that was “Coming Soon” while the local archive developed the mechanics behind it.

From client record to public Look

The app concept joined contact management, photography, notes, appointment history, tagging, search, and social publishing in one beauty-specific workflow.

The large production flow connects stylist onboarding, client records, Look capture, search, profiles, and appointment features. It is evidence of planned product scope, not proof of a released application.

The interface took shape

Successive wireframes moved from a gray mobile kit into a black-and-white visual system centered on photography and the LOOKlauncher wordmark.

One identity across every surface

The restrained black-and-white wordmark moved across the website, application, print, social campaigns, business cards, and professional profiles. Magenta stayed the website's primary accent.

What shipped and what remained planned

The archive is most useful when it keeps the public result separate from the product ambition.

The final production artifact
