Groundwork Coffee opened in a neighbourhood packed with chain competitors. They needed a brand that felt local, craft-forward, and memorable enough to build genuine regulars.

Independent cafés often look independent in the wrong way — inconsistent, rough around the edges. Groundwork needed craft credibility without looking like every other artisan coffee brand.
We built a warm, tactile identity rooted in the ritual of coffee — a hand-drawn logotype, earthy palette, and a full set of print and packaging assets that made every cup feel considered.
