The Blake Hotel // New Haven

Branding and Art Direction for The Blake Hotel, a boutique hotel located in the heart of New Haven.

Taking typographic inspiration from iconic New York Hotel’s such as the Carlyle and graphic inspiration from New Haven’s art scene, the project intends to show the interplay between a city’s hospitality centers and it’s art.

My role was to lead the design and execution of the project, from concepting to 
project completion.

Le Petit Grain // Paris

    Paris bakery Le Petit Grain, values quality, low waste and organic ingredients and practices. Branding identity is a literal interpretation of these values. Patterns are made by hand-painting pieces of bread and creating stamped marks. The logo uses an old alchemy symbol for change to emphasize the craft and science that is intrinsic to baking bread. 

My role was to the lead the design and execution of the project, from concepting to project completion.

The word mark, custom typeface, and vignettes draw from Art Nouveau forms and motifs while the bright pops of color and layout reflect the chef’s contemporary play on tradition.

Comice // Paris

Visual identity for the concept that reflects its meaning and elegance. The logo and icon are inspired by the original definitions of “une comice,” which is a type of pear as well as a reunion for craftsmen to share ideas, food and skills. The graphics represent the restaurant's classic roots through the typeset and color scheme while offering a bold graphic pattern which originates from its name.
