Gram e’s

product branding

Gram-E’s Kitchen is a heartfelt snack mix brand created in partnership with the NWPA Innovation Beehive. Rooted in warmth, nostalgia, and personality, the project centered around crafting a visual identity that captures the feeling of homemade treats made with love, just like Gram-E used to make.

As part of the design team, we developed a full brand system including a primary logo suite, alternate marks, custom patterns, a thoughtful color palette, and clear packaging applications. The main logo features a hand-illustrated portrait of Gram-E herself, paired with friendly typography that combines script and structured lettering to balance personality with clarity. The use of a heart-shaped icon and the phrase ā€œHomemade With Loveā€ reinforces the brand’s emotional connection and authenticity.

Supporting design elements like pretzel and waffle patterns help bring playfulness and visual texture to the packaging. We carefully curated a palette of soft purples, creams, and muted pastels to evoke a cozy, inviting kitchen feel while still allowing flexibility across product lines.
