THE SITUATION
Originally a home-based business, HOMETOWN DUMPLING would made a unique line of frozen dumplings. The business expanded, rapidly outgrowing a home kitchen, moving to a commercial space and producing thousands of dumplings a day.

From the now-vibrant color palette to the verbiage describing the intentions driving Sprout’s founder, the company needed to promote an overarching aesthetic that engaged Seattle’s mid-day crowd to choose fresh, local options over classically sub-par meal offerings — they needed to make fresh, nutritious meals feel accessible.preparing it for a new generation of millennial customers and giving it a contemporary style.
