Hey YOU!
Click HERE to shop for coffee monsters in my online store. Every coffee monster artwork is based on moments of emotional awareness from my own life.
☕Coffee Monsters👹
Coffee Monsters aren’t just mugs—they’re conversation starters. They help break the ice in awkward moments, spark laughter in everyday life, and open the door to deeper connections.
Maybe you’re dreading a tough conversation. Maybe someone you love is struggling. Maybe you just want to brighten someone’s day.
Whatever the moment, there’s a Coffee Monster for it.
☕ Big life events? Weddings, breakups, college send-offs, job promotions, and birthdays.
☕ Tough topics? Mental health struggles, grief, divorce, panic attacks, or just not being a morning person.
☕ Moments that matter? A friend battling cancer, a loved one who needs a reminder that they’re not alone.
☕The Art of "Contexting"💬
Coffee Monsters aren’t just cute designs on a cup. They are the act of "contexting"—giving form to what’s on your mind and in your heart. A Coffee Monster is a thoughtful gift that pushes past the limitations of a moment, making space for you to share what truly matters with others.
Whether it’s laughter, support, or just letting someone know they’re seen, Coffee Monsters exist to communicate the unspoken.
☕Life Can BE Funny💩
Let’s be real—life is full of ridiculous moments. Whether it’s bad dates, awkward encounters, questionable bathroom experiences, or just the pure chaos of existence, Coffee Monsters embrace the humor in it all.
Because sometimes, you just need a mug that says what your face can’t.
☕INSPIRATION FROM OTHERS🔠
Not everyone communicates the same way. Coffee Monsters are inspired by a world where visual expression is more powerful than words—where emojis, memes, and humor bridge the gap when words fall short.
For those who are autistic, socially anxious, or just emoji-obsessed, these mugs provide a playful, relatable way to say what’s on your mind—without saying a word (unless you want to of course.) This idea didn’t come from nowhere. It was shaped by real people, real stories, real struggles, and my own failures to face my limitations head on.
One particularly powerful inspiration was a friend who grew up with a brother who grew up with such a severe speech impediment that he was practically mute—and for years, he was basically the only person who could understand him. I'm sure he suffered enormous pain along with his family, but he didn't let that stop him from helping his brother in the unique way he could. He became his brother’s interpreter for their parents and the world until, with professional support, his brother was finally able to communicate on his own and go on to live his own independent life. Hearing his story, my heart broke for him, but in his struggle to help his brother, he discovered his own strength and that compassion and endurance honed him into a remarkable man.
That kind of intuitive connection—the ability to understand someone when words fail—stuck with me. Coffee Monsters are about capturing that same unspoken understanding, that same ability to say something even if you can't saying anything at all because for some, words are a gift often taken for granted. I aim to create a Coffee Monster for any conversation—because sometimes, you just want to give more than you know how to and you need some help. Maybe words just don't feel like enough to give to the moment in which you're trying to show someone that you'll always be there for them.
For this reason, my original poetry, figurines, sourced frames, t-shirts, hoodies, bags, and more will be available for an even deeper way to connect.
At its core, Coffee Monsters is part of a bigger vision: Hope Fool Projects LLC. A movement dedicated to using creativity to help people help themselves.
Mental health struggles have shaped my entire life, and in some cases, they’ve taken the lives of those I loved too soon.
My dream is for Hope Fool Projects LLC to become an incredibly successful for-non-profit organization that supports those who need it most—because no one should have to navigate life’s most difficult moments alone. Not anymore.
