Meet Chris, founder of JourneyMade

Chris is the founding director and brains behind JourneyMade. Chris is a self-confessed coffee nerd and his passion for coffee is contagious. Though he has always loved coffee, he didn’t begin out in the field. After starting his journey in Environmental Biology, he worked as a Chemist in the Hazardous Waste industry in beneficial re-use, finding new ways to use harmful waste, so that it didn’t end up in landfill. 

After 10 years in the industry Chris decided he needed a change of lifestyle. He wanted to do something that he loved and be able to jump out of bed every day excited to go to work. So he bought a Coffee Van! 

For 5 years he and his trusty red coffee van roamed the streets of Perth serving delicious high-quality coffee to workers. Chris developed a successful business and loved both the people and the coffee. 

Always on the journey to expand his coffee knowledge Chris decided to complete a course in Coffee Roasting. And with that he was hooked. Coffee Roasting is the perfect combination of science and art that fits both his love of coffee and science in one.

JourneyMade was born out of a love coffee, as well as teaching others. Chris’ infectious enthusiasm automatically draws people to both himself and the coffee. He wanted to establish a coffee brand that was for the everyday coffee lover, that built on their knowledge of coffee over time in an unpretentious way.

And so the Journey begins.
