Bryony Zeigler

Partner

Bryony Zeigler is the mastermind behind all visual aspects of the SoDel restaurants, including their logos and interior design. as Operating Partner, she also oversees operations and productivity of all restaurant locations.

Raised in Silver Spring, Maryland, Bry was a prolific athlete, playing three sports in high school. She excelled in basketball, which, coupled with her superior SAT scores and excellent grades, earned her a scholarship to Salisbury University.

With little experience at the time, Bry was given the opportunity of being manager of Bluecoast in 2001. She adapted to the position quickly, requiring her to learn all facets of the restaurant industry. Bry has continued to grow ever since and has become a driving force of the SoDel Concepts team.

Bry’s design skills began early, as well. As Haley began to establish more restaurants, she would sketch ideas for the logos of the eateries along with cohesive design plans for each concept. Inspired, she chose to go back to school for graphic and interior design at Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia to further her interest in these fields. Bry’s designs are clean-lined and minimalist, described as “spare and witty with an urban attitude” by Sysco Food Service Magazine. While in art school, she discovered yet another passion - fine arts.

Bry explored painting and drawing at Moore and has continued to develop this skill over the past few years. She graduated summa cum laude in two-dimensional fine art, and was awarded first prize in the college’s Miriam Troop Portrait Contest. Her work is striking. Most often figurative in nature, Bry manages to truly capture the essence and emotion of a person through use of light and shadows. Her work can be seen at any of the SoDel restaurants.

Bry possesses a rare marriage of Type A organization and drive with an obvious imaginative energy, making her an asset to any business. She aspires to progress with her artwork, dabble in the film industry and travel abroad to expand her culinary and artistic education.
