Brand Strategy

Before designing anything, I met with my client and discussed her brand goals, brand values, and attributes that she wanted to be reflected in her branding.

I chose green as the primary color to give the branding a fresh, homemade feel. I added crumbs as an element to give the branding a little bit more of a playful touch.

Color Palette

Icons + Stickers

Social Media Templates
