Sips + Maker
BRANDING / VISUAL IDENTITY / ENVIRONMENTAL
Sips and Maker is a neighborhood coffee bar and design market which curates handmade products by artists + makers from around the globe. Their USP focuses on makers that produce products while exercising ethical production methods. They host events, workshops and live music in their venue.
The owner of Sips + Maker came to me to execute the visual brand identity for the new retail startup. Since it was a startup the company needed to be restrained with budget resources.
The idea that birds are makers, they build nests out of recycled objects, and that this space wants to become a home away from home, led to the cup/nest and bird identity.
The scope for Sips + Maker included logo, print, social media page headers, exterior facade design, direct mail, copywriting, prototype designs for shopping bag, and pillow product design.
