Professionalism is how you show up, not what you drink

Apparently, iced coffee at an interview is a red flag. So yes, we brought matcha instead.

People confuse preference with professionalism way too often.

Professionalism is how you show up. How prepared you are. How well you communicate. Not whether you walked in with coffee, matcha or water.

In a creative business it looks like this: you read the brief before the call. You say what you think, kindly, even when it isn’t what the client hoped to hear. You deliver when you said you would, and when you can’t, you say so early.

Bring whatever you want. Just make sure you bring value with you.
