I was invited to serve as a live illustrator at two exclusive Biossance launch events in Berlin and Hamburg to provide artistic accompaniment for the introduction of new products. During the events, I created custom portraits and fashion sketches of the invited guests, which served as personal mementos of the event. The project was complemented by a series of hand-painted canvas bags featuring four different illustration designs, developed specifically for Biossance.

Live illustrations for beauty events and product launches

The illustrations were created on site in a short space of time and reflected the brand’s philosophy. As Biossance stands for sustainable skincare and plant-based ingredients, I incorporated these values into the design as well. Delicate grasses, Monstera leaves and botanical elements framed the portraits, lending each illustration a natural lightness. The result was a visual language that harmoniously captured the brand’s character and visually complemented the event.

Custom illustrations for beauty brands

In addition to the live portraits, four exclusive illustrations were created, which were hand-painted onto canvas bags and presented to the guests as high-quality giveaways. The combination of live illustration and bespoke merchandise created a cohesive brand experience that had an impact far beyond the day of the event. The project for Biossance demonstrates how bespoke illustrations can creatively enhance beauty events, product launches and brand activations, whilst authentically showcasing a brand’s identity.
