Projects

Three projects, three continents, three different problems.

Every engagement is covered by a confidentiality agreement: here you'll find the method, the scope and the real deliverables of some recent projects, without client names or proprietary data.

01
United States · Lab-grown fine jewelry · Established brand
  • 66-page strategic document
  • Benchmark of 6 direct competitors
  • 12 naming directions · 3 personas
  • 4-phase launch roadmap + 30/60/90 KPIs

From a brand that explains itself to a brand that gets chosen.

The starting point. The brand was justifying its own legitimacy — certifications, technology, sustainability — instead of making it self-evident. The risk: being assessed as a rational, price-comparable alternative, never desired as an aspirational choice.

The work. Brand audit and competitive benchmark with price mapping, positioning map and SWOT, a four-tier voice architecture — brand, product, service, culture — a naming system, a moodboard with a codified palette, three customer profiles, ready-to-use microcopy and a progressive launch roadmap with a measurement plan.

When the transition is complete, the brand is no longer assessed: it is chosen. And that is where value becomes sustainable.

02
Gulf region · Fine jewelry · Design-driven
  • 3 documents, about 190 pages
  • 155-page AI Design Book
  • Over 70 concepts generated with AI direction
  • 4-tier price scale · 8 core SKUs

Building an icon in a market that weighs gold.

The starting point. In a market where gold is priced every day by the gram, competing on weight or on price-per-carat means not competing at all. A proprietary design motif: recognizable, replicable across the range and built to last.

The work. Market analysis of the regulatory context, hallmarking, retail and local purchasing culture; development of a proprietary design module, measured against the ambition of the great historic high-jewellery motifs; generative exploration of the module across dozens of variants in form, material and finish; a price scale built on diamond-edge density; a three-phase roadmap with a core of icon products and an appointment-based selling protocol.

The goal isn't to reduce the gold. It's to increase the value per gram.

03
India · Accessible premium · Market entry
  • 69-page strategy
  • 26-page collection lookbook
  • 6 personas · 5-stage customer journey
  • SWOT on 3 dominant competitors · 3 scenarios over 3–5 years

Entering a hundred-billion market with a voice of its own.

The starting point. An Italian design brand entering a market held by players with hundreds of points of sale and catalogues of thousands of references. On that ground you don't win by scale: what was needed was a difference in identity, not in volume.

The work. Competitive analysis of the three dominant players, a positioning statement and a tone of voice calibrated between emotional and informative registers, six customer profiles with dedicated messaging, a five-stage purchase-journey map, an omnichannel distribution strategy, three medium-term development scenarios and the creative direction of the inaugural collection, presented in a lookbook organized by product family.

Where the market competes on scale, difference isn't bought: it's designed.

Other recent projects: a three-year strategic plan for a high-jewellery maison entering the United States, with a set of indicators and measurement formulas; and building an Italian pre-launch brand from scratch, from positioning to brand book to the e-commerce brief and a twelve-month financial projection.
