Early in my career I was a designer at La Colombe Coffee Roasters. It was a time where I was able to work on some pretty incredible projects—one of them being a collaboration between La Colombe and celebrity chef Mario Batali. I was given full creative freedom to design the packaging for a limited-time roast that would then go on to be sold at Targets, nationwide.

The roast was inspired by Italian-style coffee so I decided to create a suite of hand drawn pieces that were inspired by the charm and elegance of Italy.
