ThreadLink’s process
Santiago's is an amazing restaurant, and their cuisine offering was getting lost with the lack of brand identity and online presence. When we took on this challenge, we decided to focus on conveying the Latin feel and make it very clear the type of foods and flavor you could find. While providing an upgraded look, we still wanted for the brand to feel "homey".
