ROY SWIM

Our work to rebrand Roy Swim was created from getting to the heard of it all. This brand possesses a deeper purpose far beyond swimwear alone. It all began with founder Liane Roy, a former lifeguard who meticulously handcrafts each suit from coast to coast. Her visions was to create swimwear that feels like a second skin, allowing every body to shed self-consciousness and embrace a life of effortless comfort and confidence. From this powerful mission, our strategic rebrand was born. We distilled Roy's essence—inspired by the natural beauty of Martha's Vineyard and Santa Cruz—into a visual identity that is both authentic and welcoming. We focused on celebrating individuality and rejecting fleeting trends, crafting a look and feel that truly aligns with the brand's core values. The result is a brand that not only sells swimwear but enables moments of genuine joy and self-acceptance, proving that feeling good in your skin is always in style.
