Designing a Fast-Casual Restaurant Brand and Website System

Pie Town Tacos was a new fast-casual restaurant concept built around bold branding, playful illustration, and a memorable customer experience. As part of the creative team, I contributed to the brand identity, environmental graphics, retail signage, illustration, and marketing collateral while leading the UX, visual design, and execution of the restaurant's website.

01 — Website Experience

A responsive site built to carry the restaurant's personality online.

I led the UX, visual design, and execution of the Pie Town Tacos website — translating the in-room brand into a digital experience that felt as warm and confident as the storefront.

02 — Environmental Branding

A street presence that introduced the brand before you walked in.

Environmental graphics and exterior branding helped establish a memorable street presence — large-scale wordmark, signage, and color carried directly from the brand system into the building.

03 — Menu System

Menus that balanced illustration, hierarchy, and readability.

A menu system carried across multiple customer touchpoints — in-restaurant menu boards and a catering format — built on the same illustration language, color palette, and typographic hierarchy.

04 — Outcome

The project combined branding, environmental graphics, digital design, and marketing into a unified customer experience. I led the design and execution of the website while collaborating with the creative team on the restaurant's visual identity, retail signage, menus, illustration, and supporting collateral. The final experience maintained a consistent visual language across both physical and digital touchpoints.
