Ropa Cabana

As the owner and operator of a beachside eatery in Rogers Park, I led both the creative and operational direction of the business — shaping the brand experience from initial concept through full execution. I developed a comprehensive brand and marketing system, including visual identity, menus, promotional materials, and a dynamic website, ensuring every customer touchpoint felt cohesive and intentional.

​

Through strategic positioning, consistent branding, and authentic community engagement, the eatery achieved four times the business of any previous operator, quickly establishing itself as a trusted neighborhood destination.

​

This experience reflects my ability to unify strategic decision-making with hands-on creative leadership — building brands that not only look cohesive, but drive measurable growth and lasting community connection.
