Koto Bento wanted fresh visual content that would showcase their authentic Japanese cuisine in Helsinki’s food scene. I developed a warm, storytelling approach that focused on genuine moments—diners savoring each bite, the artful plating of dishes, and the inviting atmosphere of shared meals.

This project showcases my approach to restaurant visual identity: understanding the brand story first, then crafting visuals that bring it to life.
