About the project

Retro Roots is a curated clothing and accessories collection at select Goodwill of Northwest North Carolina stores. It brings together hand-selected pieces with a classic, nostalgic feel, with a different assortment to discover at each location.

My role

I developed the Retro Roots logos and campaign creative, then carried the visual direction into a landing page. The work brings together expressive lettering, blue and cream, worn textures, playful details, and clothing collages across the brand and its launch materials.
