The Albany Chefs’ Food & Wine Festival: Wine & Dine for the Arts is the largest annual three-day event in New York's Capital Region. The festival brings thousands of artists, chefs, bartenders, business owners, and attendees together each year to raise funds for the local arts community.

From 2022-2025, I was the sole designer creating all branding, marketing, and event materials for the festival.

I worked closely with the festival's board and marketing team to develop the visual identity of each year’s theme and produced unified collateral designs across every audience touchpoint — including the festival’s website, mobile app, advertisements, billboards, social media, newsletters, interactive display signage, print materials, and merchandise.

​

2022 was the festival's first year returning after the pandemic. During our years working together, attendance grew for all ticketed events across the entire 3-day festival, with record-breaking ticket sales in 2024 & 2025.

In 2025, I designed the festival's updated logo, reworking the proportions of the typeface and incorporating a wine-stain motif to bring imagery into the brand's visual identity.
