Smithsonian National Museum of American History

Event Design: Food History Gala

The Smithsonian Food History Gala is an annual gathering of culinary leaders, and I led the creation of the visual identity for the event. We infused the artistry and craft of cooking into every deliverable. Custom India ink patterns, hand-stamped from cut fruits and vegetables, formed the foundation of the event's identity system. The season inspired the bright color palette, while the focus on fresh, quality food influenced the handcrafted graphics, reinforcing the event's dedication to food traditions and the culinary arts.
