Project 001

Brand Identity
Maison
Bistro Concept
Traverse City, Michigan
2025

Visual identity for Maison, a lakeside bistro and café nestled on the shore of Northern Michigan. Maison operates within the intersection of seasonality, craft, and community. The visual brand direction explores methods of flow and rhythm pulled from elements of natural cadence, hand-done intimacy, and motion.
