Hospitality

Apex Lounge

I served as Creative Director and lead visionary for Apex Lounge's transition from a standard coffee shop into a high-end, multi-use social destination. This was my most comprehensive ground-up project — moving beyond simple design into full-scale brand evolution.

I developed the primary vector logos and typography systems, ensuring they felt premium and aligned with the wider Apex brand family. I coordinated with sign-makers and designed the physical storefront identity, including menu boards that defined the in-person customer experience.

I curated the social launch aesthetic and evening/weekend positioning — presenting the lounge not just as a place for coffee, but as a sophisticated hangout spot. I also consulted on the La Dolce Vita and minimalist-modern interior direction, so furniture, lighting, and layout reflected a sanctuary-like atmosphere that could transition from day to night.

Part of the Astir group — a ground-up brand evolution project.
