Bareis + Nicolaus developed a modular brand identity for Curious Coffee, a Michigan-based roastery founded by Mike Bawden. The system is inspired by the coffee cherry and uses custom typography, vibrant colors, and flexible framing to balance education and curiosity. The design avoids typical minimalist coffee aesthetics, instead creating a warm, inclusive, and conceptually rich brand experience.
The Brand Identity interviews Julia Darze, Partner and Senior Brand Designer at Fiasco Design, about her creative journey from Brazil to Bristol. She discusses her path into design, her growth within Fiasco, and her passion for meaningful, inclusive branding work. The conversation also touches on supporting junior and women designers and the vibrant creative culture of Bristol.
