After studying Chemistry at University, Kate, founder Suda Coffee Pencil, set up a café in Camden called Suda (수다) meaning chit-chat in Korean. After experiencing the waste caused by coffee consumption she decided to create a unique pencil using used coffee grounds to promote sustainability and education. This unique pencil is now used by artists all over the UK, and sales go towards material donations to school, supporting independent makers, sustainability and partnerships with like minded businesses.
