Killer Collab
Limited-edition creative partnerships brewed through curiosity, craft, and caffeine.
A creative collaboration series from Killer Roasting Co., the new-wave nano roaster I co-founded with my husband back in 2012. Built on craftsmanship, curiosity, and caffeine, Killer was more than coffee; it was a platform for creative experimentation.
Through Killer Collab, we partnered with artists, illustrators, and makers to create limited-run products that reflected both their talents and our values. Each piece was fueled by genuine connection, mutual respect, and a shared obsession with thoughtful detail.
Killer Roasting Co. x Libby Preiss
We kicked off the Killer Collab series with illustrator and designer Libby Preiss, whose hand-drawn aesthetic brought an expressive, human energy to the world of Killer Roasting Co. At the center of our collaboration was a limited-edition 18"x24" four-color screen print, signed, numbered, and printed on 80lb French Paper Co. stock. With a print run of just 50, the poster embodied the spirit of slow craft and small-batch creativity that defined our brand.
We gave Libby complete creative freedom, and she responded with a piece inspired by her goofy rescue pup, Leeloo. The result was playful, unexpected, and full of charm, just like her.
But the partnership didn’t end there.
Libby became our go-to illustrator throughout Killer’s lifespan, creating artwork for stickers, social media graphics, and even contributing to 5to9, our self-published zine. Her work helped shape the visual personality of Killer Roasting Co. and remains one of our most beloved creative collaborations.
