Solution

To solve Fillin' Station’s branding challenge, I developed a handmade design featuring doodle-like assets that capture the shop’s eclectic and artistic essence. This organic, hand-drawn approach adds a personal and inviting touch, reinforcing the community-driven and creative atmosphere of the space. The warm, vintage-inspired color scheme enhances the nostalgic yet lively feel, making the brand visually cohesive and instantly recognizable.

Because Fillin' Station is a small business, instead of investing in separate packaging for each coffee type, the shop can simply apply custom stickers to generic bags, ensuring flexibility while maintaining a cohesive brand identity. The stickers feature the handmade, doodle-like aesthetic that aligns with the brand, making each bag feel unique and thoughtfully crafted.
