Corporate Branding NOTES

Rebrand a 90+ year old company
Client: the krusteaz company
What they do: dry mix manufacturing  + CPG WHY: RE-CONNECT WITH CUSTOMERS

My RoleI worked with Krusteaz Company Team to bring their fresh brand to life by identifying distinctive visual assets tied back to the company brand and legacy. I independently designed numerous deliverables to support and rollout the brand company wide. While establishing assets, I also established primary and secondary color pallettes by looking into the history of the company and the popular colors during the company’s year of origin. 


Brand Book


The company websiteOnce the re-brand was set in motion, building the corporate website was a top priority. I worked with the Creative Director and freelance coder to design the front-end website, including content, layout and site functionality.
