Holy Bagel

Info

Holy Bagel had a logo and not much else, just a name doing all the work with no world around it. They needed a real identity: voice, type, colour, characters, the whole personality a food brand lives or dies on. The logo they ended up with was one I almost didn't show them. I'd made it while working through the "serious" options. I loved it, and dropped it into the deck as a half-joke "you won't pick this, but I'm putting it in anyway". They picked it. Everything else like the illustrated cast, the sticker language, the menu system etc. grew out of that one accident I couldn't leave out.

Olivia Vachon

Brand Director

It has been such a true pleasure and privilege working with Sim on several brand guideline projects. Her creativity is genuinely one of a kind, there is a beautiful sense of imagination and whimsy in everything she creates. She has an incredible ability to take a simple idea and transform it into a complete, meaningful brand identity that feels authentic and always full of personality. I admire the way she brings ideas to life with such care, originality, and a personal artistic vision, always raising the bar. Every concept she develops feels unexpected and uniquely hers. Working with her is continuously inspiring because together we create stories and one of a kind brand identity that people can connect with. I could honestly spend all day exploring ideas and creating with her (it's my favourite part of my day!) Sim is a truly special artist and designer, and her passion, creativity, and dedication make her someone I feel incredibly lucky to have collaborated with.
