Joe and Heather met 6 years ago in design school through Heather's brother who made pour overs with Joe twice a week after class. She knew about this guy named "Joe" because her brother then taught her how to make pour overs the way that Joe taught him. Now, they're married and so excited to share this special brand they started together, Grafika!
Both with a background
in coffee and art.
Joe has been working professionally in coffee for the past six years. He has worked at a few different cafes around the DMV and learned many important skills in the specialty coffee service industry as both a barista and a cafe manager. Joe has also invested some of his free time to freelance branding work for some exciting clients here in the DC area.
Heather has been working as a Graphic Designer and Art Director for the past six years here in DC. She now manages a team of around 10 people, and has seasoned experience with branding and marketing clients with unique visual styles. In some of her free time, she has continued learning barista skills at home from Joe, and is very confident when it comes to coffee knowledge as well.
