dolci is Middlebury College’s student-run fine dining experience, known for its intimate pop-up dinners and multi-course menus inspired by changing themes. I’m currently developing a new brand identity and merchandise package that captures the program’s warmth, craft, and sense of occasion. 

The project explores two visual directions as I shape the final system:
Direction 1 looks to Italian Art Deco and cut-paper forms, creating a nostalgic yet elevated aesthetic.
Direction 2 introduces modern, hand-drawn elements and a playful graphic language that reflects today’s design sensibilities.

This work aims to give dolci a flexible and recognizable visual world, something that can evolve with each themed dinner while staying true to the character of the experience.
