Seattle Restaurant Week

I was offered the job of designing the logo for a new Seattle event called Seattle Restaurant Week. I quickly brought in my pal Lorie Ransom who is a logo pro and we collaborated on both a logo and a poster for the event. It was a nice mix of ideas and execution. Lorie gets full credit on the final poster as she did most of the heavy-lifting.

How To Cook A Wolf

How To Cook A Wolf

Since I had previously designed the site for Tavolata it only made sense for me to work on Patric and Ethan's Queen Anne venture: How to Cook a Wolf. The space itself is very unique and the site plays off the various materials and some unorthodox navigation.

Urban Dish

Urban Dish

This was my big attempt at a side project—a Seattle restaurant blog and guide. While it was mostly successful it was simply too much work to manage on my own so I shut it down. Recently I've been getting a lot of requests to reopen it…we'll see.
