Project Brief
Smashburger is a fast-casual restaurant chain celebrated for its fresh, made-to-order burgers, smashed on a hot grill to lock in flavor. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, the brand has expanded to hundreds of locations across the U.S. and internationally. Smashburger partnered with our creative team to strengthen its visual identity and refresh its brand presence across multiple customer touchpoints.
My Role
Our team developed visually engaging menu concepts and produced high-quality, styled food photography to highlight Smashburger’s signature offerings across both print and digital platforms. We also designed in-store and exterior signage that complemented the brand’s bold, modern identity and enhanced the guest experience. To extend the brand into motion, we created a custom logo animation for use in digital signage and promotional media.
Creative Insights
This project was a great example of how cohesive design can unify a brand across every channel. From the texture of the food photography to the movement in the logo animation, each element worked together to tell the same story—fresh, bold, and full of flavor.

Hi, I’m Stacey, a Senior Multimedia Designer with 13+ years of experience creating brand and marketing assets for foodservice and restaurant-focused businesses. I focus on developing work that helps teams communicate clearly, guide customer decisions, and create cohesive brand experiences across print and digital.
I bring that work to life across social campaigns, advertising, presentation materials, and web content, with a strong emphasis on food photography, styling, and art direction.
I’ve spent much of my career collaborating with chefs and marketing teams to bring menu concepts to life—connecting brand identity, product storytelling, and guest experience into one cohesive system.
In 2026, I launched The Food Nerds to apply this experience more directly to independent restaurant brands. This work continues to shape how I approach design: practically, strategically, and with a strong understanding of how creative needs to perform in real-world environments.
Currently seeking a full-time design role where I can contribute to a collaborative team and continue creating impactful brand work.
