Joint project with Simona Mastrolia - an extremely fast-moving, budget-smart design, branding, and build-out for Isha Koya,, a baker launching her first café and bakery. As regulars of the former Cobble Hill shop, we knew the space well and focused the budget on elevating its natural charm.

We created a branding/interiors package, budget, and timeline for the client.
Michael Quirk of Good Chair Co helped us create custom menu boards and added some addition shelving. We thrifted furniture, painted and sourced new lighting - all within the client’s budget of $5k.
