An idea born from someone trying to scam me through my portfolio website... I took their fake business, used it as the foundation to add a new tool to my kit (Figma) and made something meaningful to me instead. Saint's barbershop is a case study for a hair salon catering to and celebrating the queer and trans experience.

All Mine Frozen Yogurt shop wanted to update their branding, add a new menu item and advertise their new item (bubble tea). They liked their original logo so I went with a fun, retro, family friendly designs for the new signs and menus. This store is next to a Figaro’s Pizza location and customers often stop by after a meal so I kept the display font consistent with the Figaro’s brand for continuity. In store deliverables were branded cups and napkin holders alongside digital menus. For advertising outside we went with a bright and colorful window cling and decal.
