The brief

It started with a Sub of the Day poster to catch customers’ attention in store. After that, Parle By VietFresh brought me back to design a takeout menu that could hold their most popular dishes without feeling crowded. Both had to feel fresh, modern and true to their authentic Vietnamese food.

What I did

For the signage, I kept things bold and simple, so the daily special grabs people’s attention at a glance. For the takeout menu, I organized the dishes into clear categories with vibrant food visuals, so it’s easy to scan and hard not to order from, and I created a set of custom assets to tie it all together.

How it went

The client loved the signage so much that they brought me back to design their takeout menu, and kept sending more work my way after that. Last I saw, the Sub of the Day poster was still up in the restaurant.

What I learned: how to manage client expectations. Tight timelines and budget conversations taught me to set a clear scope and deadlines up front, stay calm under pressure, and still deliver work I’m proud of.
