Grounded
Grounded is a vibrant coffee shop by day, offering expertly crafted brews in a cozy, welcoming space. As night falls, it transforms into a lively cocktail bar, serving unique coffee-inspired drinks. This idea stems from my love of coffee, and nothing could satisfy me more than to have a crossover with my passion for design and my favorite pick-me-up.
Artist/Thesis Statement
I’m a designer who loves pouring my personality into my work using bright colors and fun illustrations as my very own “latte art” in a way. I thrive on pushing my creative limits, especially when I’m buzzing with excitement over a brand idea. That’s exactly how I got hooked on Grounded.
As a die-hard coffee lover, turning 21 introduced me to a whole new world... espresso martinis. But why stop there? Coffee cocktails are seriously underrated, and I’m here to shake (and stir) things up. My senior studio project is a place where you can get a high-quality coffee during the day, as well as a coffee themed cocktail at night. Grounded is a place for coffee and cocktail lovers alike; made for someone who wants more than just another espresso martini.
