Art Direction for Midnight Recovery

From sketching to execution, I partnered with the photographers of Y+J to bring concepts to life. Using their stunning photos, I created a campaign with hero banners, a landing page, emails, and page breakers. The project required extensive planning, collaboration, and leadership, including meetings, presentations, and delivering digital assets. It was a fun, fulfilling experience and a great growth opportunity.

My goal for this key visual was to capture the cozy, comforting essence of the bestselling Midnight Recovery Concentrate. I aimed to highlight the blend of science and nature by pairing clean apothecary glassware with the formula's key botanical ingredients.

This key visual features a cream and serum as a nighttime duo. The shot is clean and serene, with a soft, glowing vibe that feels both luxurious and calming. I kept Kiehl’s signature blend of science and nature in mind while integrating the dreamy aesthetic of Midnight Recovery.

Shoppable Collection Key Visual

Here, I centered the collection products, making their deep blue packaging as the focal point. To reflect the blend of science and nature, I added clean glassware for an apothecary-inspired feel and soft botanicals for an organic touch. The layout balances precision and calm, visually merging the brand’s technical and natural ethos in a clean, elegant way.
