The Nati is a concept coffee shop rooted in the heart and soul of Cincinnati. Drawing inspiration from the city’s culture, I developed a bold, energetic brand identity that celebrates local pride through playful design. At the core of the project are a series of custom illustrations that spotlight beloved Cincinnati icons — from hometown heroes to cherished landmarks — all infused with a colorful, pop-inspired aesthetic.

The Nati
This passion project was an opportunity to blend my love for branding with a deep appreciation for community storytelling. Through The Nati, I aimed to create more than just a coffee shop — I envisioned a gathering place where locals could see their city reflected in every cup, wall, and detail of the brand experience.
