Slab Sicilian Streetfood is another Jay Loring (of Nosh) restaurant opened with Stephen Lanzalotta (of Micucci sicilian slab fame) and rated one of the most anticipated openings of Spring 2014 in the country. I designed the logo, starting menu and full menu, as well as entrance window and door signage, bakery window and labels for all their takeout packaging. I also made their logo into a large (and small) stamp to apply their logo anywhere and give their takeout packaging an authentic effortless look.

The menu presented a challenge because like a lot of places with amazing beer offerings, Emily Kingsbury, the beer goddess of Slab, wanted the ability to change the menu daily AND have those offerings on the menu. I set her up with a word doc template designed and styled after the style of the menu, so that she will be able to print the drinks on the back of the menu.

I should mention that this place will be amazing and if you don't make it your goal in life to have the luna bread you are a bad person.

Mohawk superfine Luxe by Moo paper. 3.25" x 2.125", black and cyan. These very fat 32pt thick cards have a bright cyan core. Yeah!

This imaginary logo was made as a joke. Living in Portland, we are subjected to a lot of really great, sometimes cliche design. All you can do is have a good sense of humor. I took some iconic hipster emblems like antlers, an owl, a mustache and a unicycle, then I used some of the crafty wordage like [something]"smithery", artisan, crafted, local...and topped it off by putting a bird on it. People loved this so I posted here. I sort of love it now. Its my new logo, don't take it!​

Jaiemelle is my fashion and industrial design endeavor. ​Jaiemelle is pronounced like my initials: J. M. L. (jay-em-el) but rather fancier-looking. I designed a logo and had fabric tags printed and sewn on to make dress tags as well as business cards.

Custom logo design and print design for a wonderful bar/restaurant in Portland, Maine. The ad was published in several publications in the area. The ​place is great, the atmosphere is great, the bartenders are great and for goodness sake, get yourself the LFK burger.

This is a the magazine that never was. The print industry is rough. I was commissioned to do the layouts for most of it as well as branding. I designed the logo and business cards, table of contents and as you can see here, the opening spreads of what would have been awesome articles.
