Decker Barbecue






BRAND IDENTITY / CREATIVE DIRECTION / PRINT / ILLUSTRATION CLIENT: DECKER BARBECUE
WITH PS. GOURMET GROUP


In the 15 years since opening at Robertson Quay, Decker Barbecue has grown to be a local watering hole, bringing traditional Texan smoked meats to the Singaporean culinary landscape. In 2026, Decker Barbecue launched its first flagship outlet, aptly situated in the old Bukit Timah Fire Station. With this milestone, I led the rebranding and creative direction of Decker Barbecue into a more contemporary and elevated smokehouse.


Ritual Over Recipe

Every morning, before the first guest arrives...

The same sequence unfolds.
The meat trimmed.
Smoke, judged by colour, not clock.
Temperature held.
Twelve hours of careful, unhurried attention
to heat and time.

There are no shortcuts:
This is the pitmaster's commitment.
Not to a recipe, but to a standard.

Our way of ‘Low and Slow’.
This is Decker Barbecue’s ritual.


Decker earned its loyal audience through good, classic meats; not through novelty and fanciful recipes. Our new strategy repositions the brand to centre on craft, kitchen and its people. 

This identity is expressed from the material world of Texas smokehouses: warm, fiery glows, the rough and cool of oak and steel, and the patina of leather and craft paper. These colours drive the brand’s vibrant visual territory to balance the maturity of these textures.


The House of Low & Slow
At its core, Decker Barbecue is about the rituals and techniques of smoking good meats. With a deep respect for Texas traditions, the brand tagline was adopted to honour this commitment, using Decker’s bold, organic typography. Paired with custom brand textures (inspired by varieties of meat marbling) and stamp-like illustrations, the extended visual system establishes an identity rooted in craft, tribute and expression.


A restaurant is only as good as its food and community. Decker’s photography world was established through a focus on distinct pillars: from the Pitmaster’s kitchen and tools, to the textural breadth of the menu, and to quieter, welcoming details of interiors & community.
