Overview

Ravine is a premium lip brand rooted in modern romance and natural sophistication. This project was a response to the @readysetbrief challenge, and from the moment I read the brief, I knew exactly the world I wanted to build — one that felt rich, tender, and deeply feminine.

The Concept

When I think of lipstick, I think of colour that carries emotion. The deep reds, the ripe burgundies, the soft berries — shades that feel bold and intimate at the same time. That tension between strength and softness became the creative heartbeat of Ravine.

I wanted the brand to feel like a love letter. Not loud or flashy, but the kind of romance that lingers — like velvet, like the last petal of a rose. Every decision I made came back to that feeling.

The Creative Decisions

The colour palette was the first thing I locked in. Bordeux, Berry, Pink Tulle, and Chiffon — four shades that together tell a story of warmth, depth, and softness. From there, the ornate logo mark felt like a natural extension of that world; something vintage and considered, like a wax seal on a handwritten letter.

For the packaging, I leaned into dark florals and rich textures to ground the product in that same romantic aesthetic — luxurious without being cold, feminine without being delicate.

I acknowledge the land I live and practise on is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. I am grateful to work and create on this land, and I recognize the enduring presence and contributions of Indigenous peoples past, present, and future.
