BRAND STRATEGY - PLAY

From concept to global reach: creative direction, product innovation, and a sustainable brand story for the next generation.

As the Founder and Creative Director of PLAY active, I led the creation of a kids’ activewear brand rooted in movement, sustainability, and freedom of expression. PLAY launched in 2022, designed and produced in Barcelona, and quickly gained international traction — featured in Milk Magazine and WGSN for its forward-thinking approach to children’s apparel.

Our mission was simple but bold: create functional, aesthetic, and planet-conscious products that support active, joyful childhoods — built to last and made to play.

  • Global Presence
    Sold in 11 countries within 2 years, PLAY was built on lean operations and a focused identity.

  • Pre-Order Model
    Designed to reduce waste, we produced only what was needed, eliminating excess inventory.

  • Gender-Neutral Collections
    Over 70% of our pieces were designed to be shared across genders—boosting both versatility and sustainability.

  • Positioning Pillars:

    • Function-first design

    • Elevated color palette

    • Local production in Barcelona

    • Natural & organic materials

    • Seamless integration of comfort + durability

I oversaw the complete product development cycle — from fabric sourcing to final design. This included:

  • Sourcing organic cotton, natural fiber tech, and natural garment dyes

  • Designing with child-first ergonomics: ribbed necks, seamless knees, and labels placed for comfort

  • Building two-layered collections: a timeless, core wardrobe (Natural, Navy, Crimson) and a trend-led seasonal line

  • Elevating construction quality while maintaining accessible pricing.

Our tone was simple, bold, and playful — reflecting the joy and energy of childhood. I built a brand voice and visual identity that resonated with both parents and children, reinforcing PLAY as a movement, not just a product.

In just two years:

  • Featured by Milk Magazine and WGSN

  • Distributed in 11 countries

  • Developed a profitable, sustainable brand with a loyal following

  • Created a product line praised for its minimal aesthetic, innovation, and environmental responsibility
