Coffee around the World

Traveling always reminds me how people everywhere share the same rituals, just expressed in beautifully different ways. Coffee is one of them, a small daily ceremony that changes flavor, form, and meaning across cultures.

I decided to illustrate the coffees I’ve tried along the way: the flat white in Australia, kopi luwak in Indonesia, Cà phê sữa nóng in Vietnam, a gentle lágrima from Argentina, a tinto from Colombia and a Cuban coffee; each one telling its own story. Spiced with cinnamon, sweetened with condensed milk, brewed from a single drop, or even collected from an animal’s poop 🙊💩, every cup had a space in this grid.

I combined ink, watercolor, and colored pencil to capture texture and warmth, then printed the final illustration on cotton fabric as a kitchen cloth; turning a travel sketch into a small, everyday object that carries its own stories home.

Need illustrations for textiles, prints, or product collections?

My illustrations translate naturally into designs for children’s clothing, accessories, homeware, and stationery, from lunch boxes and backpacks to stickers and prints.
