A B2B hospitality supplier with a full digital operation built from within. A boutique beachfront hotel with a brand identity crafted to last. Two different scales — one standard.

The challenge
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

Campaign work
"Own this Moment" — Wining & Dining.
One of the recurring brand campaign series created in-house for IPA Export — a lifestyle-driven email and digital content campaign targeting hotel and restaurant buyers, positioning IPA's tabletop and serving collections as the elevated choice for fine dining environments.
Copy, photography curation, art direction, production, and email deployment — all handled in-house. Every week a new touch point, every campaign a consistent standard.
Vendor collateral & campaigns
Designed and produced all partner brand campaigns and product sheets — working directly with sales reps and international vendors to localize, layout, and prepare materials for both digital distribution and print production.

The brief
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.

Results — both engagements
Whether building a full B2B digital operation from scratch or crafting a boutique hotel identity that lives on — the common thread is creative ownership, production discipline, and work that outlasts the brief.
Next project
Whether you're a hospitality brand, a supplier, or a boutique property — if the work matters, the creative has to match.
