Label Illustration for Buttonwoods Brewery

1. Beer Label Design with Q&B RI

Queers & Beers of Rhode Island is an LGBT community group based in Rhode Island. They organize local events like movie nights and yoga, as well as the occasional collaboration with a local brewery. For 2025 Pride Month, they partnered with Buttonwoods Brewery to hold a charity label design contest. Proceeds from the contest and beer sales were donated to Haus of Codec, a RI-based LGBT youth transitional housing group. The theme of the beer, a fruited kolsch, was ‘fruit stand.’ My design was selected as the winner! I was inspired by the diversity of produce found at farmer’s markets and illustrated a table of different smiling fruit. Since the beer has notes of watermelon and blueberries, I centered those fruit in the design.
