our manifest
We are Cherry Bomb, a multidisciplinary creative studio focused on Brand Creation, Branding and Illustration and Web Development.
We believe fervently in the power of design as a “Massive Construction Weapon”. For us, design can unite and inspire people; it can simplify conversations, abstract the world and elevate experiences. Good design is not meant to be seen, but to be enjoyed.
We are Pop because we are delicious and sweet as a cherry. We are Pop because what can be more pop than a cherry in a milkshake? We love the use of color, of illustration and the infinite use of creativeness. We are Pop because we love our friends, our families, homemade food, plants and little puppies who say hello out in the street.
But also we are Punk. We are Punk because we know that a good design is not condescending neither conventional. Good design must educate and transgress, just like a good designer must not be condescending with their client. Probably, if you wish that your designer be just that, your designer, we might not be your best choice. We don’t have absolute truth, but we can find it, together, just like we can create brands that endure and transcend.
We are Punks because we are against both people who throw trash and cantankerous old people. Because we know that the world can be a better place if we effort a little bit of being empathic with other people, on being responsible with our environment, with the people, with ourselves, promoting the culture of love instead of hate. We know that the world will be a better place with music, smiles, culture and education. “…We can be heroes, just for one day.”
Our studio is small and pretty: we are six people compromised with quality, by giving the best of us and reflecting it doing our work better each day, contributing with that little effort to make this world a better place.That’s why we can’t do any other thing, but deliver all our passion, ability and imagination on each project we do, because for us, each of our clients is unique and special. That’s the challenge we want to overcome, so, why don’t we make a better place together? We are the cherry of that delicious cake that is your brand.

Directora General & Directora Creativa
Less complex than you think. Lover of mystery and unsolved cases. I don't like sweet desserts, nor anything cloying, salt or citrus, what better!
Admirer of weird styles, wild hair, striped clothes (I love it!). Still learning to illustrate, to be an adult, to take care of plants, to have friends (although sometimes I'm terrified to meet new people)… Not much to say. Simply one day I will take the initiative.

I'm not that quoting kind of person, but here there it is one I like it: "Never let anyone make you feel that you don't deserve what you want". Is not a deep thought from an existentialist philosopher. It's from a movie. In fact is from a 90's teenager movie; it's said by Heath Ledger in "10 Things I Hate About You".
I think is a good thought, very simple, yeah, but promising. Because if you put everything you have (and a little bit more) you may end up reaching what you want. But if you don't, at least you know you gave everything to achieve it.
I'm a guy with simple tastes. I don't have a fortune, but I have a beautiful life next to my girl. I don't have a car (and I don't want it), but I have a bicycle. I like indie pop and cloying songs. I'm the cofounder of this little creative studio, in which I put all my heart every day to make all who work here have a beautiful and calm life. For me, that's happiness.

Enrique "Hein"
Lead Programmer & Co-Founder
Lo mío es la progra… me recuerda cuando desarmaba mis juguetes para ver cómo funcionaban por dentro; aunque no siempre lograba re-armarlos pero saciaba mi curiosidad e indagaba el funcionamiento de cada pieza.
Ahora sigo haciendo lo mismo sólo que a la inversa: pasando de lo tangible —el artefacto— a lo intangible —la arquitectura web—. Escribiendo piezas de lógica que modifican marcados labrados por estilos declarativos.
Casi siempre estoy trabajando a ritmo de música electrónica por lo que ando en una especie de meditación activa.

Rebeca Anaya
Directora de Arte
Soy del Norte, siempre estoy despeinada y lo que más me gusta de vivir en CDMX son los chilaquiles verdes y el haber aprendido a encontrar mi ritmo dentro del caos.
Soy una persona emocional a la que le gusta actuar rápido y fan de la organización: para mí todo tiene un lugar, y me encanta acomodar cosas y hacer listas de todo.
Hace mucho años lei en alguna parte que “El 90% de las cosas por las que te preocupas nunca sucede”, y aunque no sé si sea cierto, es mi mantra hasta la fecha. En mis ratos libres dibujo, leo, y le entro un poquito al bordado. Algo que no mucha gente sabe de mí es que aprendi a andar en bici cuando cumplí 30. Haber aprendido a los 31 ya no tenia caso.
El branding me pone nerviosa, pero disfruto mucho de hacer lettering y diseño editorial, los dos me relajan y son oportunidades para oír música, pensar y trabajar con calma. Para mí lo más importante en el diseño son dos cosas: la tipografía y la simplicidad. Creo que el diseño debe ser simple para cumplir su función comunicativa, y creo que no hay nada mejor para comunicar que la tipografía.

Oscar Santibañez
Diseñador Jr.
Diseñador que lucha por el amor y la justicia. Entusiasta de la Ilustración y el Diseño Editorial. Me emocionan las revistas, los libros, las publicaciones impresas, el collage Digital y el desarrollo de infografías. Cuando era niño, ocupaba la caja de colores con mucho miedo, porque no quería que se acabaran nunca.
Polifacético. Mi vida es una canción. Siempre tengo la rola exacta para cada situación. Me gusta cocinar, porque creo que el amor también entra por el estómago. Creo en la empatía como una forma de entender a todas las personas con las que convivimos.
Me gusta ir siempre en contra del viento, si me dicen blanco, yo les digo negro. Pienso que la vida no tiene que ser perfecta para ser maravillosa. La cultura pop y las décadas de los 80’s, 90’s y 2000 son mi religión. Hago ejercicio, paseo en bici, leo, pienso, corro, vuelo y me acelero, perreo, y lo más importante: sigo aprendiendo a llevarle el ritmo a este baile enorme al que llamamos vida.

Becaria
Trabajo desde chiquita. Norita y Gabo me adoptaron, me pusieron un nombre molón y me trajeron a Cherry, donde tengo el trabajo más importante. ¡Soy la encargada de hacer felices a los chicos!
Es un trabajo muy demandante, ¡imagínate tener que ser bonita y juguetona todo el día! Muy agotador.
Por suerte me va muy bien, tengo abrazos y apapachos ilimitados :)

they trust in our work

A few years ago, we began an intimate relationship by renewing one of our identities. Their professionalism led to create an indispensable synergy for us. Just enough to take one or two coffees and listen to us et voila!!! They give life to all our ideas, materializing everything that we had between the lines, not to mention the great warmth and human understanding from the study, before different adversities from us as clients.

It has been very pleasant to work with the Cherry Bombs: not only because of their high talent that they have deployed in Ventus Mexico to transform their identity with great creativity, nor for their competence and professionalism in capturing our needs, nor for their fun and genuine illustrations... but for the hullabaloo of having met a team with an authentic sense of humor and great human warmth. Thank you!
Diego Baez Fernandez Director of Strategic Projects at Ventus Mexico
