A Single Origin

made for: Coffee Collective
year: 2023

Can you help us rebrand our coffee speciality roasters into a clear, simple and bold brand? That was the ask from Coffee Collective.

They also needed help with renaming. Known to their loyal customers as simply Collective, they wanted to incorporate the word “roasters” into their new name.

‘CC:Roasters’ became the solution — CC: acts as a “collective” umbrella; it holds the flexibility for future entities.

A nod to the craft of
coffee cupping

Abstract cup shapes serve as a unifying graphic element. Just like their varietal coffee beans, the stickers for coffee bags are each unique.

From espresso to expressive

The drip bag boxes are designed in such a way that when stacked together, they form a series of dynamic compositions.

Cycling With

How do we present and fit all the topics of the summit celebrating women from all walks of life? Initially I illustrated the literal nouns with pictograms but it didn’t feel right. It wasn’t connecting with the story of the summit. I was stuck, and went back to the drawing board. How do I approach this from a fun angle?

Well, I love illustrating objects. The target audience are cyclists. Illustrating the essentials cyclist bring on them on the road suddenly made a lot of sense. CW added to the idea: How about including items related to each speakers?
