There comes a point where you realise you don’t just want to work in a business — you want to build one.
After years working in operations, systems, and structure, I felt the pull to create something that was mine. Something creative. Something personal. Something that felt like me.
And somehow… that became mugs.
I’ve always loved mugs. Not just as kitchen items, but as small pieces of personality. The mug you reach for every morning says something about you. It’s part of your routine. Your coffee ritual. Your desk. Your quiet moments. Your chaotic ones.
But most mugs are forgettable.
They sit at the back of cupboards. They’re safe. Generic. Functional.
I wanted to create mugs people actually connect with.
That’s how Sippable Designs started.
