Contra Coffee & Tea

At the beginning of 2024, I made an Instagram post of a self-initiated rebranding project for one of my favorite coffee shops in Orange County, Contra Coffee & Tea. They saw the post and reached out to me to purchase the brand identity! I ended up working with Contra throughout the year to help integrate the new branding into their store and create more engaging designs/illustrations for merchandise, posters, signage, and other materials.
