Ground Work

Ground Work is the next big food adventure by partners Kate Kavanaugh and Josh Curtiss, of Denver's Western Daughters Butcher Shoppe. This project is founded on the belief that reconnecting ourselves to the earth, and the source of our food systems, can heal ecosystems and communities.
Ground Work will be a place to find articles, podcasts, recipes, nutrition services, and farm & butcher consulting.
Disciplines
- Naming & Branding
- Visual Identity
- Concept & Strategy
- Copywriting & Brand Voice

It starts with the idea that food has the power to heal land, bodies, and communities.

We developed a hardy-yet-organic brand, inspired by 70s revivalist lettering.
The three abstract icons represent a connection between our mind, body, and soil.
