Designing Competition Assets

Designing Visuals to Make Coffee Stand Out in a Barista Competition

In our collaboration with Blueprint Coffee, I designed the menu, landing card, and promotional visuals for their annual barista competition. Blueprint curated the coffee and presentation, while my designs elevated the competition experience, highlighting their coffees and barista skills to engage the St. Louis coffee community.
