Two Brands.
One Experience.
John Lewis & Partners envisioned an Elf on the Shelf scavenger hunt connecting Bluewater Ice Rink and the surrounding shopping centre.
​
The initial request was to develop visual assets for the rink that brought both brands together while preserving their distinct identities.
/
Finding the
Visual Connection
Working with The Lumistella Company's international marketing team and the John Lewis creative team, I developed two visual concepts that unified the brands into one cohesive creative direction.​
​
Following approval, the project grew to encompass the complete rink graphics, supporting signage and an in-mall brand takeover.
/
Beyond the
Ice Rink
The approved visual direction was adapted across architectural columns, escalators and advertising applications throughout Bluewater Shopping Centre.​
​
Working with internal stakeholders and production partners, I helped carry the designs from concept through installation, creating a coordinated visual experience across multiple environments.
