The Graceful Ordinary

There’s grace in the ordinary.

Nothing ordinary about this story of a master chef and his wife opening a new restaurant in St. Charles, Illinois, themed around “the ordinary”—a term from Colonial times for the town tavern and gathering place. We created the identity, website and other details to express an experience that’s, well, extraordinary.

What interests us, what inspires us most, are stories. And within those stories the challenges, obstacles and latent opportunities draw our sharpest attention. Your story matters. How you tell it may matter more. If you share the belief that design is more than style, that it is elemental to brand strategy and communications—regardless of medium—then our work may be of interest to you.
