Messenger Coffee’s clientele often comes with their cameras ready to capture its old-school tile floor and minimalist merchandise. They don’t just grab and go with their coffee. They stay, sit back and enjoy the beauty of their surroundings and the company of fellow coffee lovers.

Messenger’s unique aesthetic, and the connection it inspires, comes from the mind of its creative director, Brandon Wilson. This brand is his love song to the coffee that fueled his design career. Brandon continued to explore the brand and visual design at Messenger, using his talents to create the standout characters of the brands under its banner, including Ibis Bakery and Black Dog. As a leader at FairWave, Brandon has taken on creative management for all our brands.
