Celebrating diversity

Built on the belief that joy is amplified when we celebrate what makes us different, the strategy positioned Target as a place where diverse traditions, styles, and moments coexist with ease. The concept came to life as a kaleidoscope of joy, transforming stores into a vibrant, welcoming Happy Place defined by color, energy, and discovery rather than a single aesthetic. I led the execution across a fully integrated omnichannel ecosystem, delivering a cohesive Holiday world that scaled with rigor and felt unmistakably Target.

Mood, Structural & Photo intentions

A bold, inclusive holiday visual system that transforms a rich product assortment into a faceted, energetic world, balancing graphic structure with warm, human photography to create a joyful and welcoming experience.

Design system


In partnership with Adrian & Gidi, we created a cohesive Holiday world built on a minimal, multi-faceted design system. Every element was intentionally designed to reflect the breadth of Target’s product design and assortment, using facets as a visual expression of diversity and individuality.
