celestial bakery
Columbia College Hollywood / 2022 / branding, package design, AR app design
Celestial Bakery got its start in Olivia Kim’s kitchen 5 years ago. Her rise in popularity came from the absolutely adorable desserts she showed off on her Instagram. What's not to love about pastel colors, extravagant decorations, and cute cartoon characters? Through overwhelming orders and devotion from locals, she was able to expand her team from a one woman show and move out of her cramped apartment kitchen. She now has 5 brick and mortar locations all across Chicago. Her and her team of passionate bakers create fresh baked goods daily because Olivia always believed there’s nothing better than homemade treats.

They were unhappy with the chemicals and faux meat that made up a majority of pet foods and pet treats. So, they sought to create a solution. Barks and Meows pride themselves on using in season ingredients and properly raised and butchered meat by local farmers. The food is organic and of highest quality for our furry friends.

Hello! I'm Cris!
I'm a graduate from Columbia College Hollywood and have received my BFA in Graphic Design. I stumbled upon this passion for graphic design accidentally in my high school animation class. (I had to take a graphic design I class before the animation class.) As I was sitting and drawing frames over a span of a month, I realized animating wasn't for me and went back to the graphic design related classes. I'm glad I did so because it has opened up so many opportunities for me. Thanks to my education from high school and beyond, I have knowledge in logo design, poster design, photo editing, photography, packaging design, and editorial work.When I'm not working on projects, I'm usually reading, baking, cooking, sewing, playing video games, watching movies, or spending all my money on Seventeen and LOONA.If you'd like to keep in touch, check out my Instagram, or send me an email!Have a lovely day!
