Paradise

Indian Restaurant

This project was done for a pre-existing brand. They wanted to create an upscale version of what they already had. They needed Branding & menu’s. This project was complete in tandem with an interior design company, who used the brand guides to create in interiors.

the little local cafe

Coffee Shop

Donna & Gary came to me with a dream in their hearts, mad baking skills & a love for their cat, Oreo. They didn’t have a name yet, but they did have a location. I worked with them to create their name & branding based on Oreo per their request. Included is the second option they chose not go with, but it was so cute it was hard not to include.

local buoy

restaurant app

Wanting to bring delivery back to the locals, Local Buoy was an app that connected people directly to the local restaurants they loved. Other delivery apps take a large percentage, but Local Buoy cuts those costs and allows restaurants to take back control of their delivery. The client went with option 2.
