2026
RESTAURANT BRANDING

Brand experience and identity for Kansas City’s Dear Donna. Johnny, Helen, and Sondy set out to create a corner restaurant that aims to please — a space where everyone feels invited to share lovingly crafted meals. A comma at the end of a custom-drawn wordmark signifies the beginning of a love letter to a community who came together to create everything from the floral arrangements, bar stools, vegetables, and artwork on the wall.
