Case study

Roots & Co. — Brand System, Brochure & Website

Hair and scalp clinic, Cebu Business Park, Philippines

Roots & Co. is a hair and scalp clinic in Cebu Business Park. I took its existing brand assets and turned them into a usable, consistent system for print, mobile information, and a live website.

The work began with a 21-page brand-guidelines document, built from the actual Illustrator and PDF source material rather than inferred from images alone. That distinction mattered: early output had introduced inaccurate brand and treatment details, so I returned to the source files, corrected the direction, and established the real logo usage, palette, typography, tone, treatments, and applications.

From there, I developed a component-based design system: reusable tokens, layout and type rules, UI components, visual reference cards, and separate applications for the marketing site and print. I used that system to direct a mobile-first online brochure for in-clinic QR use, then a live multi-page website.

I set direction throughout and served as the final verification point — catching and correcting inaccurate brand interpretations, duplicated treatment information, unsuitable clinical imagery, missing system components, and visual drift between the design and the implemented site.

I also tested the brochure and website on real devices, including an iPhone and a Huawei P30 Pro. That testing found issues automated checks did not: a large brochure bundle that would not open reliably on mobile, non-working touch sliders on Android, and a Safari-specific navigation layout issue. I worked through fixes and retested the result on device.
