Lava Coffee Club

Designed and developed a web app used by over 10k+ Chicagoans to match coffee shops with their perfect customers.

I partnered with local coffee shops to sell over 120 bags of beans in a monthly rotating coffee subscription platform.

I partnered with World Coffee Research to bring cutting edge coffee research news to coffee enthusiasts.

I managed a small team of writers that helped me contribute over 100 articles in total.

Lava Coffee Club was a company centered around the expanding coffee industry. In a lot of ways, fine coffee is the new fine wine. Not only are there a lot of different types of coffee, there are also many different types of coffee shops. The Lava search platform was developed to help customers find the exact coffee cup and coffee shop they wanted.

Going past traditional details, Lava incorporated search criteria unique to Chicago, recommending spots along train stops and landmarks. It also ranked and labeled coffee shops in a much more intuitive way, showing the exact ambience, vibe and offerings depending on if you are looking for a hang out spot, events, meeting space, a work space or just a quick cup to go.

  • Over the course of testing and iterating through features, I have created a design pallet that is consistent throughout the app and offers an intuitive and enjoyable experience.
