Coffee: A designer's best friend.
Not only do I enjoy a tasty brew every now and then, (or everyday), coffee is definitely another one of my preferred beverages. Getting my daily fix is very important, and as a designer it keeps my creative juices flowing.. or at least I like to think so. (Sometimes the Greenpop office is so chilly I just like having a hot beverage in my hands) Another amazing aspect of Cape Town is the coffee culture; all around the city, in all different neighborhoods lie local artisan cafes, who make a mean cup of joe.
So as I continue my journey (which is now officially halfway over!.....) I intend to embrace this coffee culture and indulge myself in espresso heaven.
It really is.

Not only does all the coffee shops in town look delicious, their branding is AWESOME. As a designer I can't help but take notice, and clearly the better the look and feel of the brand, the more likely I am to want to go and try their product. So with four weeks left, the coffee adventure (continues) ! A girl (and designer) can never have too much coffee, its a culture within itself, just like craft beer. So not only am I tasting new and creative beverages, but discovering a way of life of coffee as a whole, and within these individual cafes. Keep calm and brew on! Coffee and craft beer that is :)
