2016 – 2019

The challenge

Built from zero.
Digital to print.

International Purchasing Associates is a full-service hospitality supplier — outfitting hotels, restaurants, resorts, and commercial kitchens across the Americas with everything from outdoor furniture and tabletop to commercial refrigeration and professional appliances.

Came on board as in-house creative lead with a mandate to build the entire digital and marketing operation from the ground up. That meant designing and launching ipaexport.com, building the IPA Supply e-commerce platform, running all digital marketing, designing every vendor campaign and product collateral, managing the print production chain, and keeping the brand consistent across channels — all simultaneously, all in-house.

Scope of work

Website Design

Full corporate site — ipaexport.com — designed and developed with full brand system, product categories, and project showcase

E-Commerce

IPA Supply platform — full WooCommerce build with browsable product catalog, categories, clearance, and checkout

The brief

A boutique hotel.
A brand that commands.

The Sea Lord Hotel & Beach Club sits directly on the Atlantic in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea — a charming, character-rich coastal village that attracts travelers who know the difference between a chain and an experience.

The brief was clear: create a brand identity and website that matched the property's personality — elevated without being cold, coastal without being kitschy. Designed the full logo system — the trident motif, the lockup, the beach club sub-brand — and built the website to carry that brand across every page, from oceanfront suite bookings to the Indulge · Sip · Savor lifestyle section.

The relationship is ongoing. As the hotel evolves, the brand evolves with it.

Work that holds up.
