-
The assessment asked me to demonstrate how I would work within an established brand while generating new product and campaign ideas. The challenge was to create concepts that felt unmistakably Lisa Frank without simply reproducing existing products.
-
I identified the brand’s strongest visual assets saturated color, gradients, expressive characters, animal patterns and joyful maximalism and developed a flexible system for applying them across products with very different proportions, materials and functions.
-
The beauty collection translates the brand’s color, collectibility and character artwork into coordinated packaging and retail presentation.
Apparel and accessories demonstrate how the identity can move between statement-making maximalism and more focused, wearable applications.
Everyday products extend the visual system across different shapes, materials and price points while retaining clear brand recognition.
-
The completed hiring exercise demonstrated my ability to quickly interpret an established brand, develop a clear creative direction, and carry that direction across a broad range of applications. The resulting collection feels cohesive while allowing each product category to retain its own purpose and personality.
