The situation

Verus is my company: a premium mobile coffee experience across San Diego.

I run all of it: brand, service design, sales, content, and client experience.

The idea

An honest standard, from the ingredients to the welcome.

Verus means truth: specialty espresso, house-made syrups, and a cart designed for the room.

My role

Who made what.

Made by me

  • The logo concept, brand, service design, and client experience
  • Sales: finding and pitching clients myself
  • Hats, tumblers, and stickers that carry the identity beyond the event

Made by collaborators

  • Logo drawn by a designer I hired, from my concept
