Our Story

In a sunlit corner of a West Village café, our founders met to update each other about recent life changes and future, sharing dreams, memories and hopes for something beautiful to come.

Here is when they noticed a vintage poster depicting two hands scooping from a silver cup of savoring whipped cream.

Just like that Crema was born—a collective dedicated to transforming ordinary interactions into unforgettable experiences.

Crema in Italy

In Italy, "crema" represents something smooth, elevated, and sophisticated—yet never overcomplicated. It conjures images of something carefully crafted, where every detail is considered.

The best ideas come from simplicity. In a world where complexity often reigns, we focus on distilling big concepts into clean, elegant solutions that are both impactful and accessible.

Crème de la crème.

Like the final ingredient that transforms a dessert, the right strategic visual refinement, or perfectly tuned brand voice can elevate everything. It’s the small, intentional adjustments that turn something great into something truly exceptional.

The phrase "crème de la crème"—the best of the best—was another influence behind the name. But rather than aiming for excess, we want to reflect the idea of bringing out the absolute best through clarity, precision, and attention to detail.

It represents that extra touch that businesses may not think they need, until they realize how it changes the “taste of their dessert”.
