Noblemens
Noblemens is a men’s cosmetics brand redefining the standards of modern grooming by merging heritage craftsmanship with innovative skincare science. At the core of the brand is a line of performance-driven skincare essentials developed in partnership with Exocuticals, one of the leading exosome-based skincare companies in the women’s beauty space. The result is a streamlined skincare system designed specifically for men who value effectiveness, simplicity, and premium formulation. My work on this project centered around bringing this vision to life through branding, visual identity development, and strategic positioning. The goal was to create a brand that challenges the convenience-first mindset dominating men’s grooming today, replacing it with a focus on craft, longevity, and thoughtful self-care. The resulting identity blends sophistication with masculinity, aligning with Noblemens’ mission to encourage men to expect more from their grooming experience.

When I set out to design the visual identity for Noblemen’s, my goal was simple: create something that feels both timeless and modern, with just the right balance of masculine elegance and minimalism.
The crown logo is the heart of it all. To me, it’s not just a symbol of royalty, it represents self-respect, discipline, and legacy. I designed it to feel strong, clean, and bold without being loud. The rounded base softens the overall look, giving it a sense of calm confidence, something I think modern men aspire to. The wordmark “NOBLEMEN’S” is set in a refined serif that hints at heritage, but with modern spacing and styling so it doesn’t feel outdated.
For the packaging, I went with a sleek matte black tube and clean white text. It’s simple, purposeful, and confident. No clutter. Just straight-to-the-point performance and sophistication. I wanted it to feel like something you'd be proud to leave out on your counter.
Overall, the look is meant to speak to a man who knows who he is—someone who appreciates craftsmanship, but also values efficiency. It’s a visual language built around subtle confidence, premium quality, and modern rituals.
When I thought about how Noblemen’s should look and feel in photography, I didn’t just want product shots, I wanted to build a world.
The goal was to create imagery that felt bold, grounded, and atmospheric. The rugged, volcanic textures and moody lighting reflect the elemental strength of the brand. I kept the lighting dramatic and directional low-key, with controlled highlights so the black packaging could stand out without losing detail. The misty atmosphere adds a sense of mystery and refinement, while the solid stone backdrops hint at heritage and resilience. Everything is carefully staged to feel premium but never artificial, just like the products themselves.
In terms of composition, I leaned into symmetry and intentional negative space. This allows the products to breathe and reinforces the brand’s sense of calm control. There’s a quiet power in the stillness.
Whether we’re shooting hero products, grooming tools, or lifestyle moments, the photography should always feel cinematic, elemental, and elevated.
