Graffiti was the first design system I ever learned. Started at 14, spent years on letterforms, color, and composition before I ever opened Illustrator. This page documents that work, including an exhibition I participated in two years ago.

CONTEXT
The Jagdstube has been part of Hotel Salzburger Hof for years. Guests came because they were already there. Not because they sought it out. That was the problem. A restaurant with atmosphere and history but nothing to show for it visually.
APPROACH
I started with the name. Jagdstube means hunting room. That gave us a direction: dark, rooted in Alpine tradition, but without becoming a costume. The logo pulls from that world without quoting it literally. Every decision came back to the same question: does this feel like a place you would actually want to go?
PROCESS
Not every project runs on a clean brief-to-delivery timeline. This one did not. Some decisions moved fast. Some feedback loops were short. What this project shows is not a perfect process. It shows how I work when conditions are not ideal: I adapt, I commit to a direction, and I make sure the client ends up somewhere better than where we started.
