Creating the brand experience
After establishing Roots Coffee's distinctive visual identity — from logos to color palettes — I immersed myself in crafting an immersive brand experience. From designing coffee packages to creating eye-catching posters, every detail is curated to ensure a cohesive and inviting atmosphere for our local shop. At Roots, we strive to make every sip a memorable journey into the heart of Uganda's coffee culture.
Coffee bags
incorporating life in Uganda, my packaging designs feature vivid illustrations portraying the local people and scenic landscapes. The back of each pack provides a glimpse into the origin of the beans, emphasizing specific regions such as the West Nile Region. It's a visual journey connecting consumers with Uganda's rich cultural tapestry and the roots of their coffee.
Drawing inspiration from my curated moodboard, these coffee bags come to life with vibrant illustrations crafted from carefully selected pictures. Each bag is a visual representation of the mood, energy, and essence captured in the moodboard. Explore the fusion of inspiration and creativity as it unfolds in every uniquely illustrated coffee bag.

With a nod to the rhythmic and repeating motifs that define Africa, these cups aim to bring a touch of its lively spirit to your coffee experience.
