RAYBERNS
ROLE: ART DIRECTOR + DESIGNER


For too long, frozen food has been viewed as low-class, lacking nutrition, and frankly, not cooking. However, modern advancements have changed the game, making food accessible, easy, and nutrient-dense. Yet we still shame the humble goods in our freezer.

Cooking isn’t just about being able to perfectly julienne carrots or sous vide a steak. Cooking can start off with a frozen sandwich and dressing it up to be more. Cooking can be about feeding yourself and loved ones, moving forward to take on the next day. ultimately, what is cooking anyway?









The World’s Fastest Culinary School


Culinary school is a multi-year-long commitment that isn’t fit for everyone's lifestyle.


Raybern’s is here to democratize cooking by hosting the world’s fastest culinary school— a way to speed run a few basic cooking skills that give people the confidence to put a spin on the classic Raybern’s sandwiches.






Existential Market Paths


The produce section at a grocery store can have you feeling dazed and confused. All great starts, but doubt can start to set in. We’ll have floor stickers placed around to share a familiar narrative and help people remember that cooking in the modern era is whatever they want it to be, including starting with a Raybern’s sandwich.












The Anti-Food Blog, Food Blog


Food blogs are notorious for telling ridiculously long life stories before getting to the actual instructions of the recipe


Raybern’s does not waste people’s time!


We placed Raybern’s straightforward recipes in famous food blogs (Bon Appétit, Epicurious, Food52, NYT Cooking) to give readers a break from recipe-blog novels and provide a straight-to-the-point dinner.
