Case Studies

PROJECT 01 – MOTIQUE®

Tagline:
Honoring the spirit of classic motels, reimagined with boutique hospitality design.

Summary:
Motique® is a founder-led brand platform that highlights a new category of hospitality: classic American motels renovated with the design and detail of a boutique hotel. I led the brand identity work including logo design, visual language, and layout direction to give Motique® a clean, editorial presence that honors the past while positioning it for modern travelers.

Impact Highlights:

  • Designed logo and full visual identity

  • Collaborated on property curation and layout styling

  • Defined content standards for future hotel features

PROJECT 02 – PEAK POTENTIAL PACK

Tagline:
Branded training kits that scaled across hotel teams.

Summary:
The Peak Potential Pack is a branded internal education program developed to train hotel staff across properties. I created the full visual system from print templates and digital quizzes, to sourcing production for custom-branded shipping boxes. The kits provided a consistent, self-guided learning experience for property teams.

Impact Highlights:

  • Designed print & digital training materials

  • Built quiz workflows using Google Forms

  • Managed production of all physical kit components

PROJECT 03 – SPANISH GARDEN INN

Tagline:
A full rebrand inspired by original artwork and lush garden surroundings.

Summary:
I led a complete identity refresh for Spanish Garden Inn, working closely with the hotel’s owner (a classically trained artist) and our VP of Marketing. Inspired by the property’s watercolor art and garden setting, I designed a new logo, clean typography system, and custom leaf motifs. The refreshed identity extended to all guest-facing materials: From emails, collateral and signage to a hand-painted logo at the property’s entrance, and was supported by an internal style guide.

Impact Highlights:

  • Replaced heavy, traditional aesthetic with a lighter, art-forward design

  • Designed full print suite: brochures, folders, stationery, signage

  • Delivered brand style guide for future consistency

  • Visual system received positive feedback from ownership and guests
