Problem

A digital experience that matched the print quality.

Plate needed a digital experience that matched the quality of its print publication. The existing site did not serve the needs of chefs and foodservice professionals looking for editorial content, recipes, and industry news in one place.

Solution

Typography, color, and photography in service of editorial.

I combined clear typography, vibrant color palettes, and engaging photography to showcase Plate's editorial content. Working closely with editors, developers, and contributors, the redesigned site brought Plate's culinary storytelling to life online.

  • Typography-led design

    Clear hierarchy supporting editorial depth and chef profiles.

  • Content-first architecture

    Intuitive navigation connecting recipes, interviews, and industry news.

  • Authenticated audience

    Built for foodservice buyers, operators, and chefs.

Results

Recognized work, real outcomes.

  • Jesse H. Neal Award for Best Website
  • Folio OZZIE Honorable Mention for Site Design
"What made it successful was not just the design. It was understanding how restaurant professionals actually worked and building something that made their jobs easier."
