· The coffee shop was new and needed a website that reflects their warm atmosphere.
· A quick loading menu for customers.
· The owner wanted to be able to sell merchandise and coffee beans.
· Create designs to sell as t-shirts and stickers for events they've hosted, or simply as shop merch.
To help Montague Brothers Coffee establish a strong brand presence and connect with their community, I created designs that embody their warm, ranch-style aesthetic and resonate with their local audience.
I designed a website that captures the cozy, inviting atmosphere of their coffee shop. By incorporating their signature green, gold, and cream palette alongside rustic wood textures, the site reflects their ranch-style identity while maintaining a polished, professional look. The website is not only visually appealing but also functional, providing easy navigation and a seamless user experience.
To streamline their operations, I integrated their website with the Square system. This connection enables them to efficiently manage inventory, track sales, and handle finances, simplifying day-to-day tasks and allowing them to focus on serving their customers.
For their popular movie night events, I created unique designs inspired by films like Jurassic Park and The Sandlot. These designs were featured on t-shirts and stickers, becoming a hit with locals and contributing to a sense of community around the shop’s events.
I also designed a vintage-style illustration of a muffin & cortado, blending a hand-drawn aesthetic with their brand’s rustic charm. These designs were turned into shop merchandise, including stickers, and have been well-received and purchased by customers. The owners use local printers too, so they also are supporting a small business.
Every design choice was intentional, from the rustic elements on the website to the vintage, hand-drawn style of the merchandise. These elements were crafted to align with Montague Brothers Coffee’s brand while appealing to their target audience of locals and regular patrons.
By combining thoughtful design with practical functionality, the final deliverables strengthened their brand presence, enhanced operational efficiency, and deepened their connection with the community.
