• Creative: Loves experimenting with new drink flavors, often adding a unique twist to latte art or daily specials. ​

Hobby

• Trying New Recipes: She loves experimenting with drinks or pastries in her apartment, often asking her friends to be the first "tasters." ​
• A Walk in the Park: Lily really enjoys fresh air. She often takes walks or sits and reads in the city park on weekends, observing her surroundings for inspiration. ​

This cafe carries the concept of "Modern Grandpa's House"—a blend of cozy vintage vibes with bright, modern design touches. The goal is to make every visitor feel like they're relaxing in their own living room.

Color & Lighting

• Color Palette: Dominated by soft, warm colors, such as pastel yellow (like morning sunlight), light blue, mint green, and natural wood brown accents. These colors were chosen to give a cheerful yet calming impression. ​
• Lighting: Utilizing plenty of natural light from the large, towering windows, complemented by sheer white curtains to let in light but still keep it shaded. At night, the atmosphere becomes more intimate with vintage-style pendant lights (bare bulbs with copper wire) and small table lamps with golden yellow shades.

Furniture & Layout

• Tables & Chairs: The furniture isn't uniform, creating a more personal and unique feel. There are refinished old wooden tables, small marble tables for two, and even a long communal table in the center for groups of friends. The seating is varied: there are wooden chairs with plush floral cushions, small pastel-colored sofas, and high wooden stools in the bar area. ​
• Bar Area: This is the focal point. The bar counter is made of solid wood with a natural stone surface. Behind the bar, wooden shelves display various types of coffee beans, beautiful glasses, and coffee-making equipment. This is also where Lily often creates her latte art. ​
• Reading Corner: In one corner of the cafe, there's a large bookshelf filled with used books and magazines that visitors can read for free. In front of it are plush sofas and a small fur rug.

Favorites

• Drinks: Coffee latte with a splash of vanilla syrup, refreshing lemon iced tea, and hot chocolate with marshmallows on top. ​
• Food: Kue cubit with abundant cheese topping, donuts coated with powdered sugar, and fresh fruit salad. ​
• Colors: Bright colors like sunshine yellow, light blue, and mint green. ​
• Other Things: The smell of freshly brewed coffee, the sound of rain outside the window while still feeling warm inside, other people's laughter, and sunflowers.

Hatred

• Mess: Despite being somewhat clumsy, Lily actually doesn't like to see her workplace or room messy for long periods of time; she'll feel restless until everything is tidy again. ​
• Rude or impolite people: He really doesn't like it when customers talk rudely to the cafe staff or belittle other people's work. ​
• Coffee that is too bitter without any sugar at all: For him, coffee should be enjoyed with a balance of flavors, not just bitterness. ​
• Heights: Lily has a slight fear of heights, so she will be very nervous if she has to climb a high ladder to get things or go on a high amusement ride. ​
• Weather that is too hot and humid: Makes him tired quickly and his hair easily becomes unruly.

Lily is a Graphic Design student who works part-time at a cafe to support her studies. She enjoys her job because she gets to meet people and express her creativity through coffee. Her parents live in another city, so she's been learning to be independent since moving to a big city for college. The "Sunny Brew" cafe is not just a workplace for her, but also a second home and a place where she can express her passion.

Reasons for Choosing Graphic Design Major

Lily's interest in design was not a sudden thing, but rather grew from childhood:

• Her Grandfather's Roots: Lily's grandfather was a painter and vintage movie poster designer in his hometown. From the age of 5, Lily would often sit beside her grandfather's workbench, watching him mix paint or arrange letters for posters. It was her grandfather who first noticed Lily's talent for seeing the composition of color and shape. ​
• Defining Moment: In high school, Lily was assigned to design a banner for a performing arts event. She not only created a visually appealing design, but also included hidden messages and subtle details that made the banner the talk of the school. The praise from her teachers and classmates made Lily realize that design isn't just about "being pretty," but also about communicating and touching others' feelings. ​
• Connection to Cafe Dream: Lily chose Graphic Design not only as a hobby, but also as a strategic step towards her dream of opening her own cafe in the future. She wants to design everything for her future cafe—from the logo, product packaging, interior, to the menu—all with her signature warm and cheerful touch. She believes that good design can make visitors feel more comfortable and at home.

Lily is a sociable type of person, but she has a very close-knit group of friends, usually called the "Creative Gang" by her classmates:

1. Mia (Comrade in Arms & Design Partner) ​

• Mia is a classmate who often collaborates with Lily on group assignments. Unlike Lily, who is cheerful and expressive, Mia is calmer, very meticulous, and skilled in technical design software (like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop). ​
• They complement each other: Lily comes up with wild and creative ideas, while Mia ensures those ideas are executed neatly and on time. Mia also often acts as a "guard" if Lily gets too engrossed in her story and forgets to do her homework. ​

2. Rina (Friend from the Fine Arts Department) ​

• Rina is a Fine Arts student whom Lily met while participating in the art club extracurricular activities on campus. She's a somewhat "eccentric" type of artist, often wearing bold colors and always carrying a sketchbook with her. ​
• Rina often takes Lily and Mia on "inspiration hunts" to unique places in the city, such as art galleries, street art markets, or cafes with interesting interior designs. She often challenges Lily to think outside the box when designing. ​

3. Dinda (Friends from "Different Worlds" but Close) ​

• Dinda is a dormmate majoring in Business Management. Unlike Lily, Mia, and Rina, who are very artistic, Dinda is very logical, organized, and good at calculating. ​
• Despite their different interests, they are very close. Dinda often gives Lily advice on how to manage finances (very useful for Lily's future plans to open a cafe), and in return, Lily often helps Dinda design presentations or posters for campus organization events to make them look more attractive.

This outfit highlights Lily's relaxed, comfortable, and yet sweet side.

• At home: ​
• Wearing a house dress or pajama set made of soft cotton, usually with small floral or brightly colored polka dot patterns. ​
• Cute animal-shaped socks (like bunnies or bears) and soft flip-flops. ​
• Outing (Weekend): ​
• Tops: Short cotton dresses with sunflower or small stripes, or plain crop tops paired with a thin cardigan. ​
• Bottoms: Denim shorts or mini skirt. ​
• Shoes: Cute flip-flops or canvas sneakers. ​
• Accessories: A white hat to protect from the sun, and a small light brown sling bag.

Since Lily is a Graphic Design student, her style on campus remains cheerful but a bit more relaxed and practical for carrying drawing tools.

• Tops: Usually wears brightly colored t-shirts (like yellow, mint green, or pink) with cute graphic designs or inspirational quotes. Sometimes she wears a plain button-down shirt left open over the t-shirt. ​
• Bottoms: A white or light blue pleated skirt that reaches the knees, or a pair of slightly loose light blue jeans (boyfriend jeans). ​
• Jacket: If the weather is cold, she wears a cream-colored knitted cardigan or a thin denim jacket. ​
• Shoes: White flat shoes or colorful sneakers that match the top she is wearing. ​
• Bags & Accessories: She carries a pastel-colored backpack large enough to fit a sketchbook and laptop. Her hair is often left loose, or tied back in a low ponytail with a simple hair tie. She also often wears thin-rimmed brown glasses when reading or drawing.

1. Work Uniform (At Cafe "Sunny Brew")

This uniform is designed to be comfortable to move in while still looking neat and friendly, fitting the warm atmosphere of the cafe.

• Top: A long-sleeved flannel shirt in pastel yellow with thin white stripes. The sleeves are often rolled up to the elbows to keep them out of the way when making coffee. ​
• Bottoms: Cream colored chinos that are loose but fit at the waist, comfortable for standing and walking for hours. ​
• Apron: A light blue waist apron with a tie that ties neatly in the back. On the front pocket of the apron, there is usually a small embroidered sunflower and the name "Lily" written in cute letters. ​
• Shoes: Clean white sneakers with soft soles, very important for the comfort of the feet when serving customers. ​
• Accessories: Her hair is often tied up in a half-up ponytail with a light orange fabric ribbon. She also wears a thin chain necklace with a small coffee cup pendant.
