Getting Started

User Research.

The Concept

Simplicity and Portability.

To understand the user group, 60 survey responses were gathered from gyms, athletes, and skincare and fitness enthusiasts.

"Nike's goal is to bring innovation at speed. Our founder's idea allows us to explore and take risks."

To understand Nike, interviewed Nike Inc.'s Jae Hyun Lyu, senior designer @ Nike.

"To me, Nike is a lifestyle. I fully stand by our slogan 'Just Do It'. As a human we grow by failures and every failure is one step closer to achieving your dream. "

Based on interviews, content research, and survey results, I synthesized user personas to represent the targeted audience of Nike Skin.

A labeled simple multi-step routine. Packaging utilizes numbered system with distinct colors. Products ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 are for daily morning and night use, while 2.0 to 3.0 offer skincare and outdoor protection, to be washed off at day's end.

Why this system?

01. Clarity

Simplifies skincare for athletes with numbered, color-coded packaging, reducing confusion about product usage and removal.

02. Efficiency


Streamlines skincare regimen by categorizing products by purpose and usage time, saving athletes time and effort.

03. Expandable Design

Decimal-based system allows for easy integration of new skincare or makeup products, providing athletes with options without complicating the packaging.

Redesigning an established and powerful brand such as Nike to include a new skincare launch was an exciting project for me. It allowed me to apply the knowledge I gained from both my human-computer interaction (HCI) and design courses, starting with conducting thorough user research to creating a site map for the launch.
