About
Gear Guardians came to Beatnik with an idea for a new kind of outdoor care service: helping people clean, repair and reproof their technical gear instead of replacing it.
I worked with the team from the early stages of the business, shaping the brand, customer experience and ecommerce store into one joined-up system.
The Challenge
Sending an expensive jacket away to be cleaned or repaired isn't something most people do every day.
The challenge was to build trust quickly, explain a relatively unfamiliar service and make booking it feel simple, while creating a brand that could comfortably sit alongside established outdoor names.
The Approach
The brand and digital experience were developed together from the start.
I created the identity, visual language and art direction, then carried that through into the Shopify store, designing the journey around a simple question: how do we make looking after your gear as easy as buying something new?
Clear services, straightforward navigation and a simple booking journey remove as much friction as possible.

The Outcome
Gear Guardians launched with a distinctive identity and a complete ecommerce platform built around its service.
More importantly, it turned an unfamiliar proposition into something that feels straightforward: choose your gear, book the service, send it away and get it back ready for the next adventure.
