Albi’s visuals draw from @chefmichaelrafidi family roots in Ramallah, Palestine. Grainy, ephemeral film photography from the region captures a sense of memory and texture, while tatreez graphics, drawn from Palestinian embroidery, bring pattern and tradition into the system. A color palette pulled from the region ties it all together, creating a language that feels lived-in and intimate, holding both history and warmth.

Albi, Arabic for “my heart,” is a Michelin-starred restaurant in Washington, DC from Chef Michael Rafidi where storytelling sits at the center of the experience. As the brand continues to evolve, it leans further into that narrative, shaped by memory, place, and Rafidi’s Palestinian heritage. The menu becomes a structure for that story, guiding guests through a progression that feels personal and unfolding, where each dish reflects a connection to family, tradition, and the wider Levant.

As @callyourmotherdeli has grown, the brand’s taken on a life outside the shop.

What started at the counter now shows up out in the world–from bagels, to bags–even babies 🍼

When we first partnered with @callyourmotherdeli it was a DC staple that’s since grown well beyond it’s roots and expanded across the country.

As the shops multiplied, so did the need for a system that could keep up, without losing the scrappy, offbeat energy that put it on the map in the first place. We expanded the brand with that in mind. Built to show up across a growing footprint, while holding onto its humor and not-too-polished charm.

These boots are made for selfies 👀
Looking for a singular moment to capture attention on the main floor, we developed a concept using the state’s signature footwear as pixels to spell out the city’s oft-used abbreviation, and the team partnered with local favorites @alvies to bring it to life.
