Best New Bartenders 2023

Role: Creative Direction, Design, website build, Photo production and editing

For the 2023 edition of Punch’s Best New Bartenders (formerly known as Bartender in Residence) we opted for a fresh design and rebrand of the series.

As creative director on this project, I commissioned a new set of logos as well as a custom typeface to match from designer Scott Downey. Leaning on color blocking and shapes inspired by the type itself, I built the page for mobile and desktop in Ceros, with assistance from designer Keila Gonzalez, who created our lead image animation and social assets.

To accommodate the editorial, the page incorporates an interactive Q&A module on desktop (as well as an abbreviated, non-interactive version on mobile), as well as links to recipes and bios. The page features original photography throughout, shot across eight cities.
