Selected work
A cocktail for every show — and a repeatable program behind it
The Music Center engaged Sodexo Live! to tie a specialty cocktail to every production across a full performing arts season. As the incoming food and beverage operator, the team had no process in place to design and launch at that cadence.
Led the program end to end: developed each concept with operations, validated sourcing and cost, and secured approval from the client and its resident companies. Delivered the graphics and pre-promotion across client channels, and ran a post-run performance review that informed the following menu.
Delivered 22 event-tied launches and more than $135K in incremental beverage revenue in a single season.
An amenity brand designed, modeled, and built
MGM Resorts set out to create a kids’ club amenity that could scale across its properties. Developed the identity, logo, and narrative strategy, then produced the CAD models and renders of the physical environments that secured client approval.
Built for the flagship MGM Reserve line and rolled out across Mainland China, including MGM Reserve Zhuhai, with on-site support through construction.
Orange Chicken & Porcelain Plates
A self-authored study of Chinese restaurant design — 122 pages that fold out to eighteen and a half feet, documenting dozens of recurring design motifs and the rooms where they appear.
Case studies span California, Massachusetts, Ireland, Australia, and China. Researched, written, designed, and produced independently, the project reflects a core part of the method: understanding how a space communicates before designing anything for it.
