Reese Yarbrough



I learned the value of a strong work ethic from a young age (thanks, Dad). My life informs my work, and I love to learn and better myself. Every trip to the grocery store inspires me.

EarlyBird


Early Bird is a breakfast food truck that specializes in Southern comfort breakfast foods bringing the warmth and heartiness of slow, Southern mornings to bustling metro areas.

Our branding reflects the nostalgic, down-home feel you get when you cross the mason-dixon while maintaining an urban edge that resonates with city dwellers seeking comfort food on the go. Playful but readable typefaces nod to retro diner signage, and feelings of nostalgia. The bird illustration peeking out from the altered sans serif logo serves as a simple, iconic mark for the brand across multiple touchpoints.

We like to remind passersby to stop and smell the coffee. Enjoy a hearty chicken biscuit made with love, smothered in gravy, and served with a side of Southern charm. Y’all come back now!
