Volente Coffee Roasters is a social enterprise of the Modesto Gospel Mission whose purpose is to provide exceptional specialty coffee to churches, businesses, and consumers while training men and women to develop the business skills necessary to re-enter the workforce after homelessness and incarceration. 100& of the proceeds benefit the Modesto Gospel Mission and their programs.

I designed the logo for Volente Coffee Roasters, conceptualized the name “Volente” and Latin branding, and was involved during all stages of early development for the brand/business.

Deo Volente: God willing, if God wills (Latin)

Logo: “V” shaped coffee cup representing “Volente“, “C” shaped coffee cup handle for “Coffee“, and “R” shaped steam for “Roasters“. Modern, sleek design.

I worked to design the product packaging around non-profit budget constraints, and came up with the idea of printed sleeves for the coffee bags – allowing Volente more flexibility with testimonials, QR codes, and information about the product. I also worked to design a functional and sleek website for Volente Coffee Roasters featuring e-commerce functionality for the brand. I additionally worked to design a 3D architectural rendering of the warehouse that would be transformed into Volente’s roastery.
