01 / The opportunity
Tiffany's unmistakable identity traveled around the world. The challenge was ensuring its creative expression resonated with customers across China and Asia Pacific while retaining the brand's distinctive codes of luxury, craftsmanship, and romance.
As a regional marketing point person, I adapted global creative for local audiences, shared market insights with global partners, and helped integrate relevant celebrity talent into campaign execution.

I took ownership of select initiatives within the regional marketing team—leading the Asia-Pacific relaunches of Yellow Diamonds and Tiffany Keys, alongside the What Makes Love True digital experience.

Led the regional relaunch initiative, bringing Tiffany's exceptional diamond story to Asia-Pacific audiences through market-sensitive creative adaptation and coordinated execution.

Building a distinctive medical aesthetics brand—and the operating model to bring it to life.
← Explore all case studies01 / THE MANDATE
Medical aesthetics can feel clinical, intimidating, and interchangeable. Chapter had an opportunity to build a warmer, more relatable experience—without sacrificing trust or performance.
I led comprehensive brand development and creative direction in partnership with an external agency—shaping positioning, tone of voice, visual language, typography, logo standards, and the rules governing their application. I also led the integrated marketing team across organic social, CRM, paid media, e-commerce, and customer experience, and created the operational roadmap connecting the brand system to execution.
That meant building not just the brand expression, but the shared framework teams could use to deliver it consistently.
THE CREATIVE NORTH STAR

02 / STRATEGY INTO SYSTEM

Led brand development and creative direction with agency partners, defining the identity and its practical rules. Socialized the brand guidelines across the organization, including marketing, field operations, and individual studio locations.
