ABOUT THE COPPER PORTICO

Every beauty brand deserves an integrated creative partner. At The Copper Portico, we deliver strategy, packaging, and Shopify development under one roof—so you can focus on growing your brand, not managing vendors.

We listen closely to understand your vision, then translate it into retail-ready work that launches with confidence—without the back-and-forth that drains your time and focus.

More than an agency, we’re your integrated creative engine built specifically for beauty and wellness brands ready to scale.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We believe brands grow faster when strategy, packaging, and development actually talk to each other.

Our process starts by understanding your vision and the transformation you’re creating for your customers—not just what you sell, but why it matters.

Guided by beauty industry expertise and emotional intelligence, we build packaging and digital experiences that feel distinctly you and perform in the real world.

What Sets Us Apart

Beauty Industry Expertise

We understand beauty consumers, retail standards, and what actually works at shelf and online—backed by 15+ years in prestige beauty.

Integrated Delivery

Strategy, packaging design, and Shopify development in one place. No misaligned vendors, no wasted time.

Fast Execution

One team working together means streamlined timelines. You’re launching products, not chasing freelancers for updates.

Emotional Intelligence

We get your vision quickly—usually on the first try. That means fewer revision rounds and brands that reflect who you are.

CLIENT STORIES

ASHER T. | Novis Living

You went above and beyond — really understood the assignment and made the whole process easy and seamless. After our initial concept meetings, you always seem to get what we are trying to do and it doesn't take long to provide us with great results — we don't have to go back and forth numerous times or micromanage you and your team.

JAIME N. | The Anima Collective

Lilian just got it. From our very first conversation, she understood the heart of Anima Collective, what I was trying to build, even when I didn’t have all the words for it yet. She helped shape and refine the vision, then translated it into a brand that feels beautiful and true to who we are.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Lilian Santini

The Copper Portico began with a simple belief: creative work should feel as effortless as it looks.

Over the years, I’ve worked across industries—but I kept noticing the same pattern with beauty and wellness founders. They were juggling brand designers who don’t understand packaging, packaging designers who don’t do digital, and developers who’ve never worked in beauty. The back-and-forth was killing their momentum.

Our team brings together brand strategy, packaging design, and web development with deep beauty industry expertise—including our lead developer’s 15+ years at prestige beauty brands like Estée Lauder. That rare combination means we can take you from brand positioning all the way through to a Shopify store that converts, all with one team.

Today, we help funded indie beauty brands eliminate vendor chaos and launch with confidence.
