Community
Corpus Christi carries the easy energy of the Texas coast, with the bay, beaches, and South Texas culture all close at hand. The Harbor Bridge, USS Lexington, Selena’s legacy, and coastal wildlife give residents a strong sense of place and visitors countless reasons to return.
The collaboration
After living in South Texas and creating mugs for places such as South Padre Island, Galveston, and Brownsville, Corpus Christi felt like a natural next community to celebrate.
I created the Corpus Christi Mug in collaboration with Coffee Waves. Working with Matt, Sarah, and their team has been such a good experience, and I am genuinely thankful for the Coffee Waves family.
That collaboration later led to the Port Aransas Mug when the team invited me to create a design for their location there, connecting the two coastal mugs through one wonderful local partnership.
