Zest

Fresh branding design for hospitality, restaurants & food brands.

Hi, I'm Cristi & I want to help you knock the socks off your customers – with bold, memorable branding design.

I'm originally from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and although I was always passionate about art, my design journey really began when I received my Communications Design degree from Syracuse University in New York and kicked off my branding career in the big apple.


After gaining valuable experience at FCB's branding team in NYC, my (twin) sister and I joined forces as HIYO DESIGN, a fully remote branding agency (which was pretty rare back in 2015) and continued serving clients from anywhere in the world.

Cristi Jayo // CEO & Branding Director

Seven years later, the success of our venture had led us to a wide rage of clients from all different industries. We decided it's time to offer a more specialized service, and BrandingZest was born.


This studio aims to serve hospitality brands & food brand business owners with clever branding design, and helpful tools that make launching easy & enjoyable.

Let's collaborate!
