I’m doing more normie interviews (e.g. ABC, Bloomberg, etc.) now and I’m trying to get non-crypto people excited about crypto apps they might be using in the next 2-5 years.

20. Onchain Bakery Crafting

Erin expressed excitement about their role in the branding, illustration, and web design for Greg's on-chain bakery.

Erin on Warpcast

Last month my friend Greg came to me with an idea to start a bakery in his NYC apartment for a little pop up project for on chain summer. The thought of him sharing his love for bread with the world made my heart grow 10 sizes and I knew that I had to help. I did the branding and illustration and web design for his bakery. Greg and I agreed that the brand should feel playful, earnest, and a bit imperfect to reflect a product that is truly homemade. I wanted to call it good bread by Greg because I think that bread that Greg bakes is good and hopefully you will too 🤍. The site is live! Go check it out 🍞 https://warpcast.com/greg/0xf138eb29
