Professional kitchens demand consistency. Brands should too.
That was the idea behind Mara 1991, a premium B2B food manufacturer supplying restaurants, hotels, cafés, and retailers.
The challenge wasn't to make the food look delicious. It was to create a brand that communicates reliability, craftsmanship, and premium quality before a single order is placed.
Lots of packaging. Lots of details. Lots of pasta. 🍝😄
👉 What's the first thing this identity communicates to you?
even if making the food look fantastic wasn't the biggest goal here, the authenticity you establish in balancing colors with the photo's shades & the home-y feeling in displaying homemade pasta before it's all finished definitely brings quality to the mind's forefront!
A little more about the inspiration behind Tindara.
I wanted the identity to have a connection to Tindari, Sicily. The Madonna di Tindari statue was the starting point for the symbol, while Sicilian decorative patterns inspired the graphics around it.
For the colors, I chose mustard yellow, deep green, and burgundy, balanced with cream. I wanted to bring some of that warmth and richness into the packaging, while keeping the different elements comfortable together.
For me, these references are what give the project its character and sense of place.
512Financial is an Austin-based firm that steps in as the finance, HR and hiring team growth-stage companies don’t have yet. Their world is board meetings, due diligence and funding rounds, which can feel heavy and intimidating for founders.
My goal with the website was to make it feel the opposite: clear, steady and human. Deep green tones, lots of breathing room, and a “Readiness by Stage” section that lets every founder find their next step in seconds, from Seed to Series B and beyond.
