In early 2023, I had the privilege to be half of the creative team for the Foxhole remodel in downtown Bellingham.  The walk-up bar served unusual, original cocktails with an absinthe focus and prioritized making space for the queer community.  The aesthetic goal was victorian-era gothic apothecary-meets-moody euro pub. 
Light design, art curation, color palette design and textile selections were all part of my repertoire, but my main focus were the large-scale mosaics found around the front of the bar which I designed and masoned.  All tasks were budgeted while making as few aesthetic sacrifices as possible.  Many items were obtained second-hand including the mosaics which were made using found materials and second-hand tiles.
