Welcome to the soft house!
I'm Krista (Nicole) Esse, a creative based in sunny Tucson, Arizona with my partner, two cats, and dog.
I'm always on the hunt for new and exciting projects, fueled by my passion for creating stunning designs that help small businesses and startups shine, with a special interest in the food and beverage space. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of working with creative clients such as Graza, Canopy, Little Sesame, Gardyn, Via Carota Craft Cocktails, and more.
In addition to my design work, I'm also a self-published author and illustrator of two books as well as the designer and co-creator of Popular Girl Press. My work has been featured on billboards, product packaging, and social media accounts for national brands. I've also designed and illustrated several other books and a wide range of merchandise for various clients, from stickers to shirts, and everything in between.
If you're looking for branding, illustration, or anything else design-related, I'm here to help! Just drop me a line at softhousestudios@gmail.com to say hi or inquire about my services.
