CRISSINEE S.
Indigo Design Award 2026 — Bronze Winner
Branding for Restaurants/Cafe
My name is Crissinee. I am a brand designer, creative strategist, and researcher with expertise spanning brand development, consumer behavior, and business analytics.
In 2023, I co-founded Wakishi Ramen — a late-night, take-out ramen brand based in Long Beach, California. The brand was built on original market insight: identifying a gap in accessible, late-night food options for working-class consumers. I led the full concept development, brand strategy, and creative direction — translating behavioral observation into a cohesive visual identity with clear positioning impact.
In 2026, the work received a Bronze at the Indigo Design Award, an international competition recognizing design excellence across disciplines and countries.
My work integrates design thinking with research-based methodology, informed by both academic training and real-world entrepreneurial experience.
