I worked as the Lead Designer for Gap’s Fall 2022 Next Gen Icons campaign, which celebrated six of Gap’s iconic flagship products. The campaign reimagined these icons as art gallery installations, paired with influential cultural figures.
A NEW APPROACH
I pitched a new strategy for the campaign‘s social rollout on Instagram, shifting away from Gap’s usual  approach of posting a single image split across 6–9 posts. Instead, I proposed dedicating a row of three carousel posts to each campaign cast member, creating a more user-friendly and visually engaging display of stills, animations, and editorial content.

Collaborating with Editorial and Marketing partners, we balanced product, talent, and brand storytelling to deliver an immersive campaign. This approach marked a significant step forward for the brand, embracing a more social-first mindset.
