What happens when a major brand rethinks everything - in just 3 months?

In this episode of Months in Motion, Jasmine Sharpe (Creative Director, Grubhub) joins Jack to unpack how she led a motion-ready rebrand that reimagines photography, type, and storytelling across every channel.

From subtle cheese pulls to expressive wordmarks, this is a masterclass in making food brands feel - emotionally and sensorially.

Jasmine also opens up about inclusive design, creative leadership, and the art of building a brand that partners with everyone - from local bodegas to Michelin-level restaurants.

• Why Grubhub’s new system starts with motion

• Craveability in design: emotion through food, type & color

• Creative sprints, fast approvals & internal brand building

• How diversity strengthens storytelling

• Building agency + in-house collaborations that work

• Photography, accessibility & future experimentation
