Brownies

[Description]

A self-tan brand designed to feel less like skincare, and more like pure indulgence.

[SCOPE]

Brand Strategy / Naming / Visual Identity / Packaging / Art Direction / Concept Development

[The Challenge]

The self-tan category is saturated with brands that all speak the same visual language. Clean packaging. Clinical beauty cues. Predictable aesthetics. The opportunity wasn’t to create another premium tanning brand, it was to build something with stronger emotional pull and sharper cultural relevance.
A concept that would feel instantly eye-catching, memorable, and built for a younger audience consuming beauty through fast-moving digital platforms.

[The Concept]

Brownies was built around a simple shift in positioning:

Self-tan as indulgence.

Instead of framing tanning as maintenance, correction, or skincare discipline, the concept reframed it as pleasure. Drawing inspiration from dessert culture, cravings, rich textures, and after-dark temptation, the brand introduced an entirely different emotional universe for the category. Oversized typography, indulgent naming, and appetite-driven visual storytelling transformed a functional product into something sensory, seductive, and culturally disruptive.

Rather than behaving like conventional beauty branding, Brownies was designed to feel like temptation in packaging.

[Outcome]

Brownies evolved into a fully developed brand concept with a distinct emotional point of view and a highly recognizable visual identity.
A disruptive take on beauty branding designed to feel culturally relevant, instantly attention-grabbing, and impossible to scroll past.

[Description]

A self-tan brand designed to feel less like skincare, and more like pure indulgence.

Brownies reimagines tanning through the lens of dessert culture, transforming a typically functional beauty category into something playful, sensory, and craveable.

[The Idea]

Built for a younger, scroll-first audience, Brownies rejects the clean, clinical visual codes that dominate the self-tan category.

Instead, it leans into indulgence, cravings, and hyper-sensory storytelling - creating a brand designed to capture attention instantly in a world shaped by TikTok, visual culture, and impulse-driven discovery.

What we did

[Description]

Built a graphic language rooted in resistance – brutalist, stripped-down, and ready to disrupt. Every asset was designed to provoke.

[AI-Generated Visuals]

We created a library of surreal, aggressive, and conceptual imagery using custom AI prompts – abstract human forms, anti-capitalist symbols, and fashion gone rogue.

[Social Media Content]

Designed bold, fast-scrolling posts, stories, and reels – each one built to stop the thumb and punch a message through the noise.

[Digital Packaging]

Visual assets for campaigns, drops, and story takeovers – everything branded with edge and zero compromise.
Not a barcode in sight.
