I wanted to create a hand-lettered sticker for my cousin's birthday and decided to base it off of her love for coffee (and her Instagram profile caption).

I began by doing small pencil sketches to determine the best layout then moved to doing ink sketches to establish a letter shape.

When I had a sketch that I liked, I transferred it into Adobe Illustrator to vectorize.

I mainly wanted minimalistic sticker, which is why I opted for a black and white color palette. 

It's small, simple, and my cousin loved it.
