The Glow Co. Rebrand

Elevating a local skincare line from "homemade" to "high-end retail" in just 8 weeks.

From DIY Identity to Luxury Brand System

From Local Favorite to High-End Retail

The Glow Co.

The Context:

When Jessica approached me, The Glow Co. was already a beloved local secret. Her organic skincare formulations were impeccable—customers who tried them became customers for life. However, she was facing a plateau that no amount of Instagram posting could fix. While the product inside the jar was luxury-grade, the branding on the outside felt "crafty," preventing her from charging the premium prices she needed to scale.

The Challenge:

Jessica was stuck in what I call the "DIY Trap." In an effort to save money during her startup phase, she had created her own logo and packaging. While it served her well for the first year, it was now actively repelling the high-end boutique buyers she was trying to attract. They saw "homemade," while Jessica was trying to sell "clinical efficacy." The result? She was working twice as hard to prove her value, and her wholesale inquiries were non-existent.

The Strategy:

We began our work not with design, but with deep strategy. We identified that her target audience wasn't looking for another cute, handmade soap; they were looking for a serious, natural alternative to luxury department store brands. To bridge this gap, we stripped away the chaotic, bright colors of her original identity and introduced a "Soft Clinical" aesthetic. We curated a refined palette of Deep Sage, Sand, and Charcoal to signal grounding. We swapped her rounded, friendly fonts for a sharp, editorial Serif typography system that immediately established authority.

The Outcome:

The shift was immediate. Within 48 hours of re-launching with the new identity, The Glow Co. sold out of their entire inventory. More importantly, the "trust gap" had been closed. Jessica secured partnerships with three major local boutiques in the first month—partners who had previously ignored her emails. By aligning her outside perception with her internal quality, we didn't just make the brand look better; we gave Jessica the platform to charge what she was worth.

In Her Words...

"I almost cried when I saw the first concept board. Maya didn't just make it look pretty; she understood exactly where I wanted to take the business. The investment paid for itself in our first month."
