Coffee is our inspiration

Coffee is a source of inspiration for many around the globe, often in the form of a daily ritual. We strive bring beauty and art to daily life through thoughtful design that elevates coffee and people’s everyday experience.

Brand excellence is our mission

We want to be a place where coffee business owners and entrepreneurs can go for all their design needs. No more patching together in-house designers, outside agencies, and freelancers.

Nate Fussner

Owner / Designer

Coffee has been a part of my life for as long as I remember.

I grew up in Java, Indonesia - where the term for coffee comes from. I routinely passed by coffee plantations on the way to school each week.

A an avid coffee drinker, I wanted to combine my two passions - coffee and design - into one business where I can do what I love. Thus, Design Barista was born.

With over 17 years of experience in the creative industry, I'm passionate helping clients make a big impact on how customers perceive their business.

Whether you're looking to take your boutique coffee company/shop to the next level or an entrepreneur starting a new coffee venture, I'm here to make your dream come to life.
