To inspire humanity to respect our planet & be kind to one another.

Earnest & Humble Coffee came to us looking for a classy and earthy re-brand of their current packaging system. E&H’s sustainable coffee emphasizes the importance of culture, connection, and humanity, and they wanted their packaging to reflect those same values. The company wanted their visual system to stand for something and give a voice to the voiceless.

E&H’s coffee is sustainably sourced and packaged from two of Africa’s most beautiful countries, Uganda and Ethiopia. My design for the packaging showcases these countries’ most vulnerable and endangered species to provoke consumer thought about our environment. The coffee packaging also features native plants, landscape, and local coffee farmers.

Utilizing the existing E&H logo, color palette and brand guidelines, my team and I executed this design in multiple deliverables, front {8” x 10”} and back {3” x 3.5”} 12oz coffee bag stickers ~ six stickers for each roast {Light, Medium, French} and each country {Uganda and Ethiopia}, six k-cup lids {2”}, a thank you card {4” x 4”}, the coffee box sticker {9” x 4.5”}, and four illustrated stickers.

Continuous line work custom illustrations displayed on the packaging: Lion, Elephant, Gorilla, Rhinoceros, Nubian Ibex, Ethiopian Wolf, Spotted-Necked Otter, Cheetah, Coffee Plant, Coffee Leaf, Leafy Plant, Ugandan Landscape, Ethiopian Landscape, Chemex Brewer, Female Farmer, Male Farmer Profile, Male Farmer Kneeling, and six Coffee Beans.
