that celebrates to good feeling of a successful next step and how coffee accompanies us along the way. I landed a job at a great mental health organization that I am still a part of today.
On a chilly Michigan morning in December 2019, I prepared for a first-time meeting with one of my new colleagues. With great candor and certainty in my voice, I let her know that our meeting could begin after I got a cup of coffee, because... "I CAN'T without COFFEE!"
I immediately thought to myself, hot damn, I need to put this on a t-shirt.
From there I set out to create a sustainable brand that inspires conversation, motivation, and celebration of all things life while consuming coffee. Over 3 years and hundreds of products later, I am excited and proud to continue to bring to the market coffee culture inspired accessories and apparel that celebrates the good feeling of a successful next step and how coffee accompanies us along the way. Whether it's retro, pun intended, holiday, inspirational, whimsical chic, and pop culture inspired home décor, sweatshirts, totes, swim wear, dresses, lap top sleeves, hoodies, and tees, ICWC has something for the whole family.
At the heart of it, I CANT Without COFFEE is a wearable celebration of life in all of its complexity and diversity through the lens of love and 2nd most traded commodity in the world….coffee.
