BRANDS WITH ROOTS

for businesses tired of blending in

Story-led branding and illustration for founders of handmade, artisan, and nature-based businesses.

Your brand should look and feel as handmade as your products.

Meet the Founder

I’m Cassie, Founder, Brand Designer and Illustrator.

I’m a creative, always have been. I was the artsy friend, the one who could draw, the one who took all the art classes in school. I studied graphic design in college and I have two degrees in it, although I’ve honestly learned more from experience than school ever taught me.

My path has never truly been straightforward, more like a very uneven, twisting, winding road the whole way. If there’s one thing I know now that I could go back and tell my younger self it’s that business ownership, like design, is a process and a journey.

THE SALTYCAKE STORY

Branding isn’t just logos, it’s all of thebespoke brand visuals that elevate your business’s look and feel and tell your story. If you’re ready for your brand to grow and flourish instead of blend in and get buried, this is for you.

BRAND IDENTITY DESIGN

ILLUSTRATION & MERCH*

Custom, versatile, personality-driven, playful, whimsical… Illustration is the way to bring your brand, your products, and your marketing to a whole new level.

*We’re not just talking about slapping a logo on a t-shirt.

When it’s not enough just to have a cohesive and industry-defying brand, you now wanna get it and your products in front of your customers’ eyes so some custom-designed packaging is the right move here.

Let’s get coffee.

My job as a designer is to create artwork for you and your brand but my goal is to also foster genuine connections with the founders, business owners, creatives, and entrepreneurs I have the opportunity to work with. So, before I go designing ANYthing, I’d love to have coffee and chat. Even virtually, I feel like sitting down over a cup of your favorite beverage is so calming, grounding and starts any conversation right.

SO, MY QUESTION IS…

hot or iced?
