The Challenge

A skincare brand built on simplicity

Formulae Prescott had built strong momentum around its 3-in-1 Tri-Balm: press coverage, awards and a loyal following. But the website wasn't converting that attention as effectively as it could, and the brand's social and campaign presence lacked consistency.

The challenge was to bring the digital experience up to the same level of craft as the product itself—turning existing brand attention into a stronger path to purchase.

The Move

Redesign the site Direct the campaigns Own the story

At XenoPsi, I led UX, visual design and creative direction across Formulae Prescott's digital presence—from the Shopify experience to the creative work driving people into it.

I redesigned the website and optimized the Shopify store for conversion, while establishing a cohesive creative approach across the brand's digital touch points.

With an Art Director and two designers supporting production, I curated photography from multiple photographers and shaped how it was used across campaigns, social and digital. I also designed the brand's weekly email campaigns and social creative end to end.
