About the Artist 

After graduating from the Well Grounded Traineeship in summer 2024, Huong Pham began a new chapter as a full-time barista. Reflecting on the experience, Huong shares, “Well Grounded have been a blessing for me. They all have given me my confidence and a helping hand to find a new career focus. I would truly still be lost if I had not found Well Grounded."

Huong's vibrant artwork on the coffee machine is a tribute to her journey through the Traineeship. Inspired by the craft of creating milk-based drinks, Huong blended this experience with her love for Zentangle-inspired patterns to produce a captivating design.

Each panel tells a story:

• The left panel features latte art spilling from a cup. 
• The back panel depicts ground coffee in a portafilter, framed by a coffee bean and a flower. 
• The right panel showcases Huong's interpretation of flowing milk, complete with microfoam. 

Huong’s design was chosen as the winning entry in a competition to design the artwork for this machine, making it a one-of-a-kind piece that celebrates both art and the power of coffee to transform lives.
