Innovating backyard BBQ with the industry 1st, wood chip-fueled grill/smoker.

RIPT Grills is a brand new company still in their early stages of startup and already making their presence known throughout the BBQ industry. As the industries first 100% wood chip grill/smoker, the brand has officially changed the game by bringing the true, original wood-fired flavor that pitmasters achieve cooking over massive offset smokers, right to the everyday backyard with the ease and convenience of pellet grilling.

I was brought on to lead the brand development and product launch efforts. I assisted in initial product development & testing and lead the creative efforts for everything from brand application, website design, photography/videography, product packaging and assembly instruction.  

I strategized and produced a brand playbook to guide usage of the brand logo and design elements.
