Merchandise Design: Ugly Sweater Coffee Cup Sleeve

Proposed and designed new merchandise that doubled as a holiday card.  These ugly sweater graphics were printed on coffee cup sleeves, replacing the existing holiday postcards.  The merchandise was a welcoming gift, and also were a key factor in Barista Pro Shop's partnership with a custom printing company.

Direct Mailer Design

Designed and restructured layout for monthly and biweekly direct mailer promotion cards.  Stock images were combined with in house photographs to demonstrate product details.  With a wide range of audience, each design and copy underwent multiple edits to clearly communicate the product on the front and offer detail on the back.
