After moving to the U.S. in January 2025, I was asked to redesign the logo for a friend's Indian food truck parked outside a busy music venue in Denton, Texas.
The food was exceptional, but the truck’s dated visuals failed to connect with the young, mostly American concert crowd. My goal was to create a bold, culturally authentic identity that would spark curiosity and invite new customers in.
I developed a fresh logo and a vibrant design system, bringing energy and relevance to the brand across the truck, menus, and merch.
