I was asked to concept and craft a new visual identity for 1888. I fused Banff's rugged wilderness with refined cuisine. Artist Julya Hajnoczky foraged ethically sourced materials to craft stunning natural tablescapes, creating an authentic backdrop for the restaurant's finest ingredients. Working with cinematographer Michael Seehagel, we captured the restaurant's ambiance and culinary artistry, producing a visual identity that merges luxury with the beauty of nature.
