Brand Strategy & Creative Direction for the Modern Consumer

Beauty, fashion & lifestyle brands shaped by consumer psychology & storytelling

I work at the intersection of beauty, behavior, and brand worlds. Rooted in consumer psychology and cultural fluency, I build products, campaigns, and stories that feel specific to the customer and perform.

Time on the floor at Bluemercury and Ulta showed me what makes a routine, display, or tester actually pull people in. At Abundant Connections, I learned how narrative, pacing, and art direction shape what people stop for, save, and buy in the feed. I bring that lens to social, email, product pages, packaging, and launches.

About

Jane Strauss

I’m a beauty and fashion brand strategist, born and raised in New York City with a MetroCard in one hand and lip gloss in the other. I spent weekends watching brands turn corner storefronts in Soho into immersive brand worlds. Studying psychology and advertising in Dallas trained me to dissect how people discover, choose, and stick with products, and how brands earn a place in their routines. I deepened that foundation on the floor at Bluemercury and Ulta, seeing what actually makes someone stop, ask, and buy. I carried it into content work at Abundant Connections, where I learned how narrative and pacing translate into results online. I’m based in New York and open to roles in the city.
