Building an AI-driven system to solve choice paralysis in the beauty industry.

The Brand

PHOI is a beauty tech company that uses real skin data and community feedback to power personal, AI-based product discovery.

The Brief

The founders saw a market gap where $9.4B is spent by underserved women, yet 74% of consumers quit shopping because they feel overwhelmed. The goal was to turn these pain points into a clear brand identity and a product roadmap that could secure $500k in pre-seed funding.

The Plan

  • Brand Strategy: Integrated into the founding team to position PHOI at the mix of high-end makeup and AI.

  • Visual Identity: Created a mood board and aesthetic reference sheet to build a grounded, editorial look that resonates with a culture-first audience.

  • Product Roadmap: Turned feature ideas into a clear list for developers, focusing on a "Skin Twin" engine to stop user choice paralysis.

  • Investor Deck: Created the messaging and founder positioning for a $500k fundraise to build the first version of the product.
