Your brand is better with direction.

Creative direction that makes your brand
original and unforgettable — campaign to cart.

(01) — Manifesto

Taste is a discipline.
Creative direction built for
e-commerce — marketing, copy,
ads & visual strategy
from campaign to cart.

rcd is the independent practice of a remote creative director serving e-commerce brands. One point of view, zero bloat: art direction, conversion copy, ad creative, styling systems and AI image pipelines for stores that want to be remembered — across fashion, skincare, food, lifestyle and entertainment.

Led by Abigail Petit

Founder of costoomz.com, where she currently creative directs and operates the brand end to end. Featured in Teen Vogue and a season-one cast member of E!'s House of DVF, she is a seasoned stylist whose past work spans RCA, Sony, Universal, Nike, Wonderland Magazine, Hoorae Media (Issa Rae) and Reach Records (Lecrae Moore) — among others.

(02) — Client / Hedo Skincare

A skincare brand, born whole —
named, shot and shipped.

Brand creation for Hedo Skincare — company name, tagline, color palette and creative direction, carried through CEO headshots, product photography and the brand campaign shoot as creative producer. Amber glass, warm neutrals and one confident voice from label to e-commerce.

(03) — Client / Underneath Skincare

A skincare brand that lives
filter free. Cobalt on blush.

Full creative direction for Underneath Skincare: campaign photography, product still life, unboxing story and conversion-driven e-commerce creative. One disciplined palette — cobalt and blush — carried from packaging to homepage to holiday promo.

(04) — Client / TOSS

Aftercare, redesigned as
a ritual. Confidence, restored.

Creative direction for TOSS — a feminine aftercare system for discreet, biodegradable disposal of used and soiled products. I shaped the brand into something you'd want on the counter: tactile teal velvet, considered packaging and campaign imagery that treats a taboo category with luxury and ease.

(06) — AI Styling System

Every archive piece,
styled by a system I direct — not a prompt.

I built and art-direct an AI styling pipeline for Final Sale Vintage: consistent casting, lighting and attitude across hundreds of one-of-one garments. Taste in, taste out.

(07) — AI Preshoot / costoomz.com

The campaign, rehearsed
before a single frame is shot. Desert-tested.

An AI preshoot directed for Costoomz — the fashion brand Abigail founded and operates: creature couture staged across desert light. Every angle, texture and shadow is pre-visualized so the production day executes a vision — it doesn't search for one.

(08) — Concept / Ponder

A record you can hold.
An album rollout, art-directed.

A self-initiated concept — the full visual identity for a fictional record, PONDER. One uncanny image, latex and canal light, carried across cover, editorial and merch. Proof that a point of view travels intact from vinyl sleeve to tote bag.

(09) — Pitch / Chokopam

The soul of Haitian cacao,
bottled as a brand.

A rebrand pitch for Chokopam — 100% raw, single-origin Haitian cacao. I built a warm, proud identity around a gold cacao-pod mark and a deep cacao-brown palette, then extended it across packaging, unboxing and a campaign that centers Haitian faces and everyday ritual.

(10) — Approach

01

Immerse

Archive deep-dives, reference walls, market and culture reads. I find the tension a brand should own before touching a single image.

02

Direct

Casting, styling, light, typography, motion. On set or fully remote — one voice across campaign, product and AI-generated imagery.

03

Systemize

Playbooks and AI pipelines your team can run without me — so the taste scales past the engagement.

  • Marketing & Visual Strategy
  • Conversion Copy & Brand Voice
  • Ad Creative
  • AI Styling & Image Pipelines
