Clinique Lunar New Year
DESIGN DIRECTOR - Concept, art direction, storyboards and 360 design 2021
One of my favorite projects at Clinique, under the guidance of Liz Nolan and Timothy Strudwick, I art directed the 2022 Lunar New Year campaign. We were tasked with elevating and calling attention to our limited edition line in a saturated sea during this important holiday in the Chinese and asian market. Marrying traditional red and gold elements with Clinique’s laboratory heritage, I developed a concept around the Modern Alchemist. Touching on all points of digital, print and visual merchandising we follow our muse as she celebrates her creations in her lab, sealed within the year of the Tiger.


concept
The modern alchemist.
It’s a new year, and the Clinique lab is waiting.
Or is it?
For with the new moon comes magic, reinventing the lab as an alchemist’s workshop.
It is an ancient-modern fusion, where beakers bubble with enchanting elixirs.
Where everyday items turn to dazzling gold.
Where the tiger’s vitality infuses every potion.
Where skin is reborn, finding eternal luminosity.
The alchemist beckons. How will you be transformed?
