Design and illustration for a very special collaboration between Echelon Coffee Roasters and Laynes Espresso.
Farm to Cup
The inspiration for the illustrations came from research into the coffee production process and trying to tell the story from farm to cup. The idea was to give each of the four collaborative coffees it's own handmade image, which would work in isolation but also come together in a wider collection narrative.

Collaborative Coffee
It was a joy working on the collaborative project with Leeds speciality coffee champions Echelon and Laynes. It was a very free and trusting process from the start which feeds into the work and hopefully comes across in the finished article.
