My WHY

I wanted to combine my love for Chicago Italian Beef, Baseball, and Design into an experience that would be appealing and entertaining.

I found all these baseball cards in my garage and thought, "This is dope baseball card design! So retro and nostalgic."

This is when the wheels started turning.

Baseball, Italian Beef, and Design. How does that mix?

One word: timeless.

What do you do on a flight? Draw.

Sketching is my favorite past-time. It allows me to throw my ideas on paper and flush things out.

OUTCOMES

I designed and built a website on Webflow for Chicago residents to vote on their favorite Italian Beef sandwich, with the goal of honoring local legends and celebrating the city's beef culture.

Custom Cards honoring the local legends.

It's been cool to hear from other beef-lovers how they've discovered a new spot from seeing these cards.

Giving local Chicagoans the chance to share their favorite spot

The voting system is a fun way to see who ranks best and discover other spots that aren't usually talked about.

All design elements were inspired by the City of Chicago Design System.

Typography, color, icons and other design elements were pulled from this system.
