Tractor Beverage NRA Show

Tractor Beverage

In spring 2025, I was brought on as Creative Director to concept and design the Tractor Beverage Co. booth at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago. I collaborated with the stellar team at 9iFX to bring the vision to life. The goal: create a space that felt alive, regenerative, and rooted in storytelling.

Tractor is committed to organic ingredients, regenerative agriculture, and flavor with purpose. We wanted the booth to reflect that—inviting visitors to slow down, engage, and reflect. The result was a layered, multi-sensory experience that earned Best Booth Experience at the 2025 NRA Show.

Project Elements

  • Custom-designed Airstream trailer, part of Tractor’s Mad Farmer Tour, featuring mobile storytelling and a branded interior experience now touring the U.S.
  • Moss-covered drink station, framed by a gallery wall that included custom artwork I illustrated for the brand, and a hidden AR mirror that let visitors imagine themselves as future “Mad Farmers.”
  • Promise Tree installation where visitors wrote pledges to future generations about soil and sustainable food systems.
  • Sustainability Game, a spin-to-win quiz that combined education and fun, offering rewards regardless of score.
  • Immersive green spaces, filled with texture, natural materials, and calming energy—offering a pause from the bustle of the trade show floor.

Visual & Interactive Design

The booth design was anchored in natural textures—live moss, wood, and stone—layered with clean, minimal brand storytelling. Interactive moments were seamlessly embedded: a mirror that doubled as an AR portal, a playful sustainability trivia game, and tactile elements like handwritten pledges and ingredient displays. The visual direction balanced warmth and modernity, reflecting Tractor’s organic roots and future-focused ethos.

Color palettes were inspired by Tractor’s real beverage ingredients—citrus, hibiscus, mint—paired with earthy greens and rich neutrals. Lighting was used intentionally to create mood and draw attention to interactive zones.
