I started designing apparel for The Cove Wine Bar, a new spot located on Lake Union in Seattle. The bar is part of The Ackley Brands portfolio, a company that owns a range of well-known beverage businesses. Their lineup includes popular breweries such as Mac & Jack’s and Silver City Brewing, as well as respected wineries like Betz Family Winery and Montinore Estate Winery. My work focuses on creating apparel that reflects The Cove’s relaxed, waterfront atmosphere while tying into the premium feel of the Ackley portfolio. It’s been a great opportunity to blend lifestyle design with the region’s strong brewing and winemaking culture.
