I was the lead designer for Clarity, a startup focused on simplifying skincare shopping in person and online. Clarity was created while I participated in a student run incubator program in college. In a few short months, my team, consisting of 2 engineers and 1 product manager, created a working demo that we pitched to an industry audience and panel of judges.

Proposed Design
Our solutions solved for lack of time and knowledge. Users can quickly search for products via picture or screenshot, most likely from in-store browsing or scrolling through TikTok. After uploading a picture, users will get a percentage match with a detailed ingredient analysis and ways to incorporate it into their skincare routine.

Visual Identity
Besides the design of the app, I also created the overall brand identity with a focus on organic shapes and colors. I then created a design system to document all our brand and product assets.

Outcome
My team was able to build an MVP of Clarity, which we showcased at a demo night to the general public as well as a panel of industry judges. Although we didn’t win, I gained valuable experience working under a tight deadline to deliver a product from 0 to 1, all while collaborating with a passionate team.
