The Client

My client is a business man who grew up in Baton Rouge, but has spent his adult life living in Las Angeles and globe-trotting. He has retired now and wants to open a trendy restaurant and bar in his hometown. He wants to be hands on in the project, but has no experience in the restaurant business. He has asked me to design his restaurant from space planning, to picking finishes and furniture, to creating a branding image and logo. He knows that he wants to have some familiar Louisiana Based dishes on the menu, but definately wants his menu to have a more sophisticated twist that the average Baton Rouge menu. He has asked me to collaborate with his chosen chef to come up with a design and menu that work well together.
