Cantina Nicola

Cilantro, chilli, and the perfect fold of a tortilla. A December launch that needed to taste as good as it looked.

INSIDE THE PROJECT

  • A December launch in the middle of a New Zealand summer. Cantina Nicola needed a visual system that tasted as good as it looked. Street food elevated and translated into something people could scroll. Heat, colour, and appetite, distilled into a feed.

  • We built a Template Library around three pillars: flavour, colour, and texture. Every post had to feel like an invitation to the table. Hands passing drinks. Margaritas in evening light. Tiles, lime, chilli, coriander. Close enough to taste. The layouts leaned into poster-like energy. Vibrant, layered, and unapologetically bold.

    We curated imagery that captured the soul of street food, from charred corn and fresh lime to the perfect fold of a tortilla. We designed templates that made it easy for their team to keep that energy alive, post after post.
