problem: a premium Japanese restaurant’s handcrafted cocktails were served on disposable napkins, creating an experience that did not reflect the quality of the brand

​

solution: designed a bespoke coaster system that enhanced the dining experience while improving functionality for both guests and staff

​

my role: 

>>> identified the opportunity & developed the product concept

>>> presented & iterated multiple design directions with the client

>>> produced coaster batches by laser cut & engrave

>>> designed the product packaging

>>> managed client communication, invoicing, and delivery

>>> received a second commission following the initial project
