Student designs chosen for Colectivo Coffee cups in May

For the fifth consecutive year, Illustration seniors reimagined Colectivo Coffee cups with their own designs. Colectivo’s creative team chose four student designs to appear on their cups at Milwaukee, Madison and Chicago locations in May 2020. Winning designs were created by Kyle DeGroot, Vincent Geenen, Hannah Liebert, and Tricia Rozelle.

This collaboration is one of several experiences for MIAD students to work on professional projects prior to graduation.
