COMMERCIAL DESIGN
TEAVANA FINE TEAS + TEA BAR
SEATTLE, WA.
Living in Seattle and getting immersed in the world of fine loose leaf tea was quite an experience. I was chosen to work on many facets of Starbucks' newest store creation - the Flagship Teavana Tea Bar store.
​
Although the Teavana Tea Bar design has now moved completely over to the Asia-Pacific market, the merchandising and designs throughout this store lead the way for the progression of Teavana outside of the United States in a store setting.
Creating a welcoming cafe which offered hundreds of beverage options and an assortment of gourmet food, the challenge came with blending the cafe to the retail store in a seamless manner.
​
Getting to understand the shopping wants and needs of the customer and the top priorities for Starbucks, I had the opportunity to design the space to support both the company and the customer.
