From Barista...to designer

Once upon a time there was this boy... a barista kinda boy

At 16 he started working at Caribou Coffee, being an avid coffee drinker he had wanted to work there for a longtime .

He worked at Caribou until he moved away to the big city to attend a private Art school in St. Paul. It was there that he grew as an artist and as a young man. Just 18, he and Logan rented and apartment and started their adventure...on their own!

`

His focus in school was on Interactive Design (graphic design) but he excelled in many areas including, drawing, sculpture, photography and DESIGN :)



Senior project...too cool for words... ya really gotta be there to see it in action.

But anyway...

after a couple of internships at some small design companies
Brice has recently been hired full time as a junior designer,
at a larger company in Minneapolis
One of the projects that we are able to see is the
Coffee label design he did for Caribou Coffee.

"Lacuna"... nice work Brice

You can also go to Caribou's home page http://www.cariboucoffee.com/
Caribou chose Brice's Design/"direction" for their new website that was recently revamped. (other coworkers have worked on the web page as well )
Rick and I are very proud of Brice. It's so great know that your kid actually is able to get a job in the profession that he studied for and loves. Now days that's just not a given.

From a lowly Barista at Caribou coffee to ...
designing for the company..very cool Brice,
and you've only just begun !

  2. I'm so proud of my Bricey because I know how stinkin' unbelievably hard he worked in college! It surely has paid off, of course the natural talent helps too!

  3. Way cool! You must be so very proud of him. Major accomplishments and he is still so young with so much in front of him. It will be neat to see how God uses the talent He's blessed him with!

  4. That's pretty awesome! God gave him a talent and now he has blessed him with a career using the gift He gave him. Doesn't get much better than that! :)
