Beauty Access

End-to-end design system for beauty initiative sparking social change

Beauty Access is an initiative created to lower the barrier of entry through education, resources, and community. As Visual Director, I led the full development of its brand identity, digital ecosystem, and experiential design—crafting a visual language that balances editorial clarity with community warmth.

I also led the creative visual direction and execution of Beauty Access Café: Donation Drive, a community donation drive sponsored by Haus Labs by Lady Gaga in support of The Lower East Side Girls Club. My involvement in Beauty Access reflects my ongoing commitment to using design as a vehicle for equity, building platforms that bring people together through aesthetics, intention, and access.

Beauty Access Café Donation Drive

The inaugural Beauty Access Café: Donation Drive sponsored by Haus Labs by Lady Gaga took place in New York City on March 1st, 2025 and invited patrons to donate unused beauty products to support the Lower Eastside Girls Club, while curating space for likeminded beauty enthusiasts to connect. Designing this experience affirmed my ongoing commitment to using visual communication as a tool for equity, designing for real-world impact across both digital and physical spaces.
