01

Menu Design

Designed seasonal and evergreen menus across three clients — balancing brand voice, legibility, and print production constraints. Formats ranged from large bi-fold dine-in menus to event-specific one-pagers. Updates were ongoing as menus changed throughout the year.

Brand Identity

For Savin Bar + Kitchen, I built the brand from nothing — identity system, typography, color, and voice. For McKenna’s Cafe and Savin Scoop, I maintained and evolved existing brands, keeping everything consistent across channels and formats over multiple years.

Logos

Logo work across three clients. Savin Bar + Kitchen’s mark was created from scratch as the anchor of a full brand launch. McKenna’s Cafe and Savin Scoop logos were refined and applied consistently across print, digital, and signage as part of ongoing brand stewardship.

Social Media

Created and managed social content for Savin Bar + Kitchen, McKenna’s Cafe, and Savin Scoop on Facebook and Instagram. Built Savin’s presence from zero. For Savin Scoop, produced recurring Flavor of the Month flyers — each themed to the flavor with its own visual treatment while staying on-brand.

Web Design

Built and maintained websites for Savin Bar + Kitchen, McKenna’s Cafe, and Savin Scoop — keeping each on-brand and current with seasonal menu updates, event promotions, and content changes. Sites needed to be easy for clients to reference and visually consistent with all other brand touchpoints.

06

Print & Promo

Event flyers, promotional materials, loyalty cards, and seasonal inserts across all four clients. Much of this work had fast turnarounds — a holiday promo, a themed event night, a new flavor launch. The brand systems had to be tight enough to produce quality work quickly without losing consistency.
