Lifted Creative Studio

Identity Design for Drip Cafe, a vibrant, mobile coffee cart in Hawaii that serves coffee with style. ☕️ Their mission? “Connecting people and Celebrating others one cup at a time.”

🎶 Inspired by the soulful nostalgia of music and the community spirit of a shared coffee moment, we crafted a brand identity that’s both poetic and timeless. The new logo features a ceramic coffee cup on a record, subtly revealing the letter “d” and embodying the essence of connection and celebration.

🎨 Our color palette, featuring hues like “D’Angelo Brown”, “Sweet Mocha”, and “Erykah Badu Blue”, adds a nostalgic yet modern twist, perfectly capturing the vibe of Drip Cafe.

📸 Alongside the visual identity, we captured high-quality, branded photos that highlight Drip Cafe’s unique essence and aesthetic, showcasing their offerings and the vibrant community they serve.

From serving fresh flavors at and .earth to envisioning a future brick-and-mortar location, Drip Cafe is all set to brew more connections and celebrations.

Identity Design and Website Build for Hawaii Residency Programs (HRP), a non-profit organization that convenes health partners to develop programs that produce quality physicians for Hawaiʻi.

🌿 Brand Identity Design: Our custom logo and the laʻi / ti leaf pattern represent HRP’s values of compassion, integrity, and teamwork, combined with professional and approachable typography.

🌎✨ Celebrating Earth Day Every Day ✨🌎

At Lifted, we find inspiration in the ‘āina (land) of Indigenous Hawaiians that we call home. Recently, we visited Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi , a community-based non-profit organization in the beautiful ahupuaʻa of Heʻeia on the windward side of Oʻahu, as part of a project with Nā Leo Kāne .

In the spirit of Earth Day, we’re reflecting on the importance of caring for our planet and the unique environment of Hawaiʻi. From the lush valleys to the crystal-clear waters, every aspect of nature here inspires us to be better stewards of the Earth.

As we look to the future, we’re committed to using our creativity to uplift and support organizations who are dedicated to preserving and protecting our precious environment.

Mahalo nui loa to the land, the people, and the culture here that inspire us every day. Let’s continue to work together to nurture and protect our home, today and every day.
