A wedding, a brand and incredible steak.

A couple weeks before her wedding, my friend Marissa asked me for help with some of the printed materials for the occasion. I designed, and together we produced, a ceremony program, table numbers and name tags. Marissa had several of her other materials (invitation, RSVP, etc.) printed online using Night Owl Paper Goods who print on sustainably harvested wood. While designing name tags, Marissa suggested using the wood from her RSVPs as a base. So, we printed out some designs, glued the paper to the wood, and folded them in half. Voilà:

A few days after the wedding, I began designing a branding system for Marissa, who is an independent artist and has recently been creating glassware out of recycled beer and wine bottles. She is selling an impressive collection of drinking glasses, vases, candle votives and most recently, lights! See for yourself:

She was the featured artist at the boutique, Muse, in Frederick, Maryland and after spending the evening setting up displays of her work in the shop, we had dinner at the Tasting Room which I'm nearly certain has the best steak in all of Maryland and Virginia.
