First American brand to put 3D texture you can actually feel on glass and aluminum slabs.
Device skins in the US market are a sea of flat vinyl. Carbon fiber prints. Fake leather. The kind of stuff that looks decent in renders and bad on a real phone in a real coffee shop.
I wanted to bring 3D texture — actual depth you can read with your fingers — to the American market. The catch: the brand had to feel premium, not "Etsy seller of the month." The site had to convert without screaming. The packaging had to survive a USPS sorting facility.
Built the brand from voice up. Set the tone of an unemployed intern — confident, sarcastic, refusing to use the word "elevate" or "premium experience" — and let everything downstream inherit from that.
Designed the storefront on Shopify with a custom Liquid theme. Stripped the standard e-commerce shrieking. Replaced it with editorial type, real product photography, and a checkout that feels less like a mugging.
Wired up Klaviyo with eleven production email flows: welcome, browse abandonment, cart abandonment, checkout abandonment, post-purchase, winback, loyalty, sunset — the whole ladder. Each one with a proper A/B-tested subject line strategy and copy that doesn't apologize for existing.
Ran the photography myself — three-light setup, 200x S key, 60Bi rim, RGB accent — to get texture macros that actually communicate the product's point.
"Most device skin brands sell stickers. We sell skins you can read with your fingers."
Live and scaling. Repeat purchase rate above category average. Email-attributed revenue inside the top quartile of the niche. The brand voice has become its own moat — competitors are starting to copy the cadence, which is the highest compliment a brand voice can get.
