PLUM
Plum is the upcoming project for a Honolulu-based art director and entrepreneur who is passionate about supporting emerging businesses in his community. He seeks to level the playing field for independently-owned restaurants by creating an easy and affordable way for small local food businesses to gain exposure and sell their goods.
Simultaneously, this is an opportunity to provide the local community with a single source of access to a diversity of Hawaii-based restaurants. My mission was to design the customer-facing responsive website for Plum and develop a coherent branding that aligns with the marketplace’s target clientele and customer experience.

THE SOLUTION
A local restaurant marketplace that is refined, yet friendly; comprehensive, but not overwhelming; and refreshing, while still familiar and efficient.
Small businesses were at the forefront of design decisions, such as prioritizing limited-time/quantity releases, messaging about the company’s ethics and philosophy, and featuring a small business spotlight.
