Case Studies
Camille Rose
Established in 2011, Camille Rose has quickly become a household brand. Inspired by her grandmother, Janell Stephens founded the company with a goal to make health and beauty products that gave women of color an all natural, luxurious experience. I recently started using Camille Rose hair products and became a huge fan of not only the hair line but of Janell Stephens and her grassroots approach. As an ode to the company’s success, I brainstormed a few ideas for a full-funnel brand campaign that could elevate the brand and give it definition across social platforms and various media outlets. Founder Janell Stephens got wind of this and asked me to present and ultimately design her in-store Holiday Kit packaging for Christmas 2025.
“Whatnot” Case Study
Established in 2019, Whatnot has become a leader in live e-commerce, as it brings “together community, shopping and entertainment” in one place. Their approach to the “future of e-commerce” is spreading quickly and gaining exponential attraction among various culture groups, including collectors, sneakerheads and trade card enthusiasts. Recently, I have grown to become a huge fan of Whatnot - especially of their sneakers category! Sellers like Coolkicks and Stews Shoes captivate their buyers, viewers, and online fanbase with live engagement, thorough moderators, and amazing steals you’d never find on SNKRS…did I mention giveaways?!
Here’s a small case study of a few UGC/social concepts I came up with in relation to Whatnot’s sneaker/streetwear category. It also includes how I might approach goal setting and strategy in order to implement these campaign ideas to grow the niche and overall audience in that space.
