Friction Manifesto
on Luxury
The middle ground of luxury is collapsing, and the era of the transactional space is ending. As we navigate the "Great Separation" in the luxury market, it is clear that the modern stakeholder no longer buys the finish, they invest in the foundation.
Works
Working with Brands like Elemis, Grown Alchemist and Kerastase to continue to elevate Brand Equitity while making their image more real and palatable for the regular consumer.
Vision
Photos are metaphors, making the abstract concrete and mystifying the mundane.
Polymath Mindset.
In a world that increasingly rewards specialization, polymaths are becoming "innovation bridges." Because they speak the language of multiple industries, they can often find solutions that a specialist, who is looking through a single lens, might miss. They excel in lateral thinking, which is the ability to solve problems through an indirect and creative approach.
Unapologetically Real.
Photos are metaphors, making the abstract concrete and mystifying the mundane. Be clear, be confident, and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself.
