COMPUTER STUFF
If it has to do with the internet, I can probably figure it out.
From the 4 years I was the in house creative director for an amazing family of restaurants in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood to 3 years running special projects for Milk Bar in New York, I’ve had my hands in some dream projects - here are a few that made the scrapbook.
FROM CHOPSTICKS TO FORTUNE COOKIES
For a designer there are few things more exciting than seeing a project through, from conception to completion, or in the case of Duck Duck Goat, from chopsticks to fortune cookies. After traveling with the Chef & her team to Taiwan to gather inspiration, I was lucky enough to work with the restaurant designers on the finer points of the opening, designing plates, menus, coasters, chopsticks - I even wrote the fortunes.
NOT BY THE HAIR ON MY GINNY, GIN, GIN
Alcohol packaging is a horse of a different color.
Girl & the Goat recently partnered with CH Distillery on a custom gin blend, and let us handle the packaging. Learning the ins and outs of what needs to be included on a spirits bottle was really interesting and getting to design the label for my favorite spirit was really enjoyable. The gin was dang tasty too.
THE COOLEST NEW CLUB
With the world in lockdown, 2020 brought a lot of challenges to the culinary community. Not one to surrender easily, Chef Christina Tosi took to instagram with a daily, live Bake Club. From recipe planning to branding and community management, I got to be there every step of the way.
*Yes, I got to taste test.
