Menus and signs worth stopping to read

A menu board has a practical job, but it can still be one of the most memorable things in the room. Shannon creates hand-lettered menus and signs that organize information clearly while giving a café, restaurant, winery or small business a little more character.

The heart of it

Made for the place, person or story it belongs to.

The lettering, spacing, illustration and color are composed around the real board and the way customers will see it. A project might be a full seasonal refresh, a permanent wooden sign, a specials board or an illustrated piece that connects to the personality of the space. Shannon is based in Hammonton and works with businesses across South Jersey, Philadelphia and the wider New Jersey and Pennsylvania area.
