I designed the holiday window display seen at Crú Food and Wine Bar in the winter of 2020 as part of the 2nd Street Window Walk Competition. I researched my design concept and consulted with the restaurant before meeting with my small crew of my fellow St. Edward's University students. Together, we used a $500 materials budget to transform the window space at Crú into a glowing celebration of Christmas.
The final window display featured an 8 foot tall Christmas tree made of steel, rebar, Christmas lights, and wine bottles. Wine cork wreaths adorned the doors on either side of the main windows and a wine cork garland ran the length of the windows. I also included a table showing off one of Crú's featured wines and some of the cheeses available at the restaurant.
The store was very pleased with the final design and my design tied for 2nd place in the 2020 competition.
