Kitchen Stories

Kitchen Stories is a digital platform for sharing cooking recipes, yet it lacks a memorable identity. To attract a broader global audience, I developed a new visual identity for the platform. It's not just about sharing recipes, but also about fostering communication between diverse cultures. By showcasing and exchanging kitchen stories—including various ingredients, tools, and customs from different cultural backgrounds—people worldwide are connected through smell, taste, and visuals.
Learning Outcomes:
Branding strategy, graphic language, and motion montage.
