Nest
Nest is a snack and drink bar built on the idea that if you create the right space, the right people will gather. With dim red lighting, pool tables, and eclectic decor, it’s a spot made for the, tattooed, punk-leaning crowd. We designed a bold brand identity, including three beer labels—Chick Chick a super sour cream ale, Hatchling, a Belgian Hefeweizen, and Baby Bird, a milky milky milk stout—featuring tattooed Kewpie-inspired illustrations. Social media graphics, merch, menus, and coaster designs complete the rebellious yet inviting vibe. The result is a space that feels effortlessly edgy, where good drinks and good company always come together.

Kurozora is a Japanese restaurant that brings the energy of bustling fish markets and city streets into its space. The highlight of the design is two custom murals, rich with culture and movement, covering the restaurant walls. A hand-illustrated oni mask logo pays tribute to Japanese heritage, while branding extends to the concrete exterior for a bold street presence. Menus and social media graphics tie everything together, creating a seamless visual experience. The result is a space that feels authentic, dynamic, and deeply connected to its roots.
