Pocket

One of Belfast’s most interesting cafes.

The Pocket is an artisan coffee shop based in Belfast, established by an owner with a true passion for coffee. I was asked to develop a brand that looked interesting and different from anything else. As the building was small, we developed a theme around the idea of a pocket and the personal things that people keep in them, to tell a story that was personal and quirky. I helped develop the brand by pushing the owners’ thinking in new directions and created designs for the website, cups, and other graphics. The enterprise has been a huge success. Another store has since opened, which has a new visual identity that is complementary to the characteristics of the area it’s located in.

Alan helps me focus my mind on the point I’m trying to make and instead of telling me what he has done in the past and then just replicating it, we work together to grow and develop a concept which will be forward thinking, unique and respectful of the dream itself. Alan is respectful, confident and progressive in a way I’ve never experienced before.”
