COFFEE FEST MERCHANDISE
Lani Kingston’s collaboration with Coffee Fest, a pioneer in the specialty coffee industry since 1992, has spanned strategy, education direction, and merchandise design, development, and manufacture.
In 2023, Lani led the charge in designing and developing Coffee Fest’s inaugural in-house merchandise line. She contracted graphic designer Sophie Wheeler to create a delightful range of coffee-focused character graphics, capturing the essence of the brand’s new education venue, the Barista Playground.
Lani then designed an entire line of merchandise, a pop-up sales booth, and retail sales operations. All designs either included Coffee Fest’s core branding or our new adorable coffee characters: from t-shirts to reusable coffee cups, every item bore the mark of our dedication to detail and creativity.
