Gracious Feast began as a farm-to-table pop-up dining experience known for unique dishes, and a welcoming atmosphere in Cincinnati, Ohio. They eventually expanded into a full restaurant before closing their doors for good in 2022.

Mike Kasak, the owner and executive chef, was looking for a rustic yet contemporary Americana look that leveraged wood textures throughout the identity to match their interiors.

When selecting typefaces or creating print pieces like menus or postcards, I had to be mindful that they would be updating and printing these pieces in-house on the day of, and I needed to make sure the design was flexible and easy to use. In addition to creating designs, I worked with Mike to coordinate sign fabrication and installation.
