Project:
AE Cafe + Apron Equity

Designed for Portland-based mobile pop-up AE Cafe and its consulting arm Apron Equity, this brand system bridges community-focused espresso service, corporate workforce facilitation, and grassroots field advocacy. Starting from early hand-sketched logo explorations, the identity matured into a cohesive visual ecosystem. The brand is anchored by an electric Royal Blue palette and a versatile monogram system. From service rate sheets and business cards to apparel, packaging, and signage, the final suite provides an industrial yet warm identity built to scale.
