When chef-owners Ian and Erin Muntzert approached me with the concept and dining experience they wanted to create with Brasa Haya, I jumped at the chance to help realize their vision.

While the realities of the pandemic required me to work remotely, my shared understanding of the food and drink culture they aimed to promote made for fast design iterations and a rapid selection process.

Inspired by the artistic and culinary culture of Spain, and a desire to return to a more soulful, regionally sourced style of cooking, we designed Brasa Haya's identity around a minimal, muted palette paired with a mark that reads more like an artist's signature — one that embodies the care and quality infused throughout the Brasa Haya dining experience.
