Hearts Pure // DTC beauty

Hearts Pure: DTC beauty rebuilt from identity to checkout.

Angela White's Hearts Pure needed to feel credible, premium, and easier to buy. I connected brand identity, packaging, product presentation, Shopify UX, and conversion copy into one commerce system.

  • Clarified the offer, value props, product hierarchy, and purchase path.
  • Unified logo, packaging, product imagery, site media, and mobile cart UX.
  • Improved trust at the moments where customers decide to buy or leave.
Monthly revenue grew from roughly $5K to $21K after the rebuild and launch improvements.
Built a system that could support product education, repeat purchase, and founder-led growth.

05 // Next step Angela White and LV partnership deck preview showing premium collaboration storytelling

Clear ask

07 // How I think

Strategy first. Memory always. Systems until it scales.

The work starts with business clarity and ends with a brand people can recognize, trust, buy from, and build on.

01 // Strategy before aesthetics

Design has to know what problem it is solving.

Before the look, I define the audience, the business goal, the emotional position, and the moment where a person needs to believe.

02 // Emotional memory

Brands should leave a mark.

A logo is not enough. The system needs rhythm, language, image, and behavior that people can recognize later.

03 // Systems outperform visuals

One strong asset is good. A repeatable world is better.

I build rules, reusable layouts, pages, decks, packaging, motion, and language so the brand can keep moving after launch.

04 // Business clarity

The work should help people decide.

Whether it is a website, pitch deck, cart drawer, or campaign, the structure should reduce friction and move the audience forward.

05 // World-building

Ideas need somewhere to live.

I think in ecosystems: services, content, IP, commerce, community, and the visual language that holds them together.
