The Joliet Mug now has its own dedicated page on my website! ☕️ You can see the design and read the story behind it here:

I spent part of my childhood in nearby Plainfield, so Joliet was already familiar to me. My brother works there, and my father-in-law spent part of his childhood summers on a family farm in Joliet, giving both sides of our family a connection to the community.
It was fun to bring those connections into a mug celebrating the city. Collaborating with Gabriel and the team at Tazza Coffee has been a good experience, and I am thankful the design has a local home there.
Which detail on the mug brings back a memory for you? 💛
