“A limited edition coffee and mug collection by Idles and DAC, supporting Skateistan’s programs across the world”
Project Description
In 2026, I pitched, secured and led a collaboration between Dark Arts Coffee, Skateistan and global punk superstars, Idles
While Creative Director at Skateistan, I got in contact with Idles frontman Joe Talbot, and was able to pitch a three-way collaboration between the NGO, the band and Dark Arts Coffee. When I left Skateistan, I continued to lead the project on Dark Arts’ side, which included the cupping and selection of the coffee, consulting on design/naming of the collection, and production of the marketing assets with the in-house creative team at Dark Arts.
The collection was named ACAB (All Coffees Are Beautiful) and was released in August, as part of the run up to Idles co-headline show with Deftones at London’s All Points East. We worked with the festival to giveaway VIP tickets to customers, and proceeds of the collection went towards Skateistan, funding global skateboarding and education programs for at-risk youth.
