Figaro Apothecary is a luxury skincare brand blending nature, science, and art to create botanical products that nourish skin, relieve stress, and inspire everyday wellness rituals. My task was to create digital assets and short-form videos to showcase their offerings across social media.
The Figaro Way Series
The Figaro Way is a series where Figaro Apothecary’s co-founders, Scott Formby and Jennifer de Klaver, share their passion and expertise, from the story behind their products to skincare rituals, sustainability, and living in harmony with nature.
Brief: Edit video content for The Figaro Way series, including assembly of provided clips into short-form videos, development of coherent narratives featuring the co-founders, and preparation of assets optimized for web and social media.
Approach: Created clean video cuts with simple transitions to maintain an elegant, approachable feel. Designed a custom lower third motion graphic template aligned with the brand’s aesthetic to professionally introduce the co-founders, reinforcing clarity and ensuring the audience always knew who was speaking.
Result: The videos are elevating Figaro Apothecary’s brand presence, enhancing credibility and reinforcing the co-founders’ expertise while deepening audience connection across digital platforms.
