Working with Digital Branding Assets (KS) from CofiLife was a highly collaborative experience. Their team provided clear guidance and feedback, allowing me to contribute meaningfully to the project while learning valuable insights into digital branding strategies.

I really enjoyed my experience working with Shabs and the entire team. They were always willing to provide feedback, support and clarification.

An excellent instructor

Incredibly nice and supportive group of people, very focused and dedicated on their project and will always help when needed.

Shabs was super easy to work with and provided great feedback/edits to my work :)

My students had a wonderful experience working with Shabs and Frida on developing a new digital marketing plan to launch one of their new products for Caffe Berry/Cofilife on a crowdfunding platform like Kickstarter.

Overall Rating I will rate them 10/10 because they offered me the challenging but interesting opportunity to grasp what and how important Novel Food Sources are for public health. Their written feedback was very constructive and encouraging. Thus, I will quickly recommend that they continue helping other students in the same manner. CaffeBerry.co cannot but be rated 10/10 since the project director lead me into advancing and exploring new areas as well. The growth level accompanying the entire project WELL 440 is well-appreciated. I received not only corrections but feedback which are often very constructive that energized me to doing better in the project. Consequently, the skills gathered in my overall assessment will be very helpful in my career path and future goals. Additional Comments I must testify that working with CaffeBerry.co particularly provided me the opportunity to receive their 2023 Annual Impact Reports. In that I saw and understood new career insights and inspirational stories that will make me a good leader. So, I am happy things are working out fine.

Shabs was very communicative with me, always willing to elaborate on a project assignment if I needed clarification. He was very friendly and provided very positive feedback/remarks when reviewing my research deliverables. I thoroughly enjoyed performing the market research for Caffe Berry.

As team leader, I was responsible for setting up a virtual meeting with the employer and encouraging all members that could, to join in on the call. We had a great discussion regarding the uniqueness of the product being developed and the coffee fruit ingredient they use. Their video on the coffee fruit was also a great help in understanding their reasoning and approach to marketing their energy bars. As the meeting continued, we found out that we had more and more in common. As a certified personal trainer and health enthusiast, I found the benefits of the ingredient significant and intriguing. When the employers described their ideal consumer, I found a lot of the adjectives used also described myself. This brought a whole other level of connection to the product and employers which made the project as a whole very engaging. The employers had a positive and friendly persona and were very informative. I can’t wait to see what they do in the future! Our project presentation will be sent over shortly.

Shabs had a fantastic product idea, gave ample information, and was flexible and understanding. For my first Riipen experience, it was a success. Communication was wonderful.

It was a different experience for me working with an employer for the New Product Marketing.

The company reps were very positive about working with students. We could have had a better focus for the project, but this is something to think about in future.

Fantastic client to work with - supported students throughout their project and provided valuable feedback to each team. Thank you for a great experience and I can highly recommend this client.

Working with Shabs and Freida on their amazing project was an honour! Students enjoyed working and developing strategies for their start-up. I look forward to working with Shabs again!

Shabs is a very professional and pleasant person to work with. It was an amazing project getting to know his company and also about Cafe Berry and I'm really interested to see the future and what it holds and would love to work with Shabs in the future as well.

Working with employers from CaffeBerry.co as part of the ICT Ignite Skills - Digital Tech Projects program has been an enriching and invaluable learning experience for me in the field of Webdevelopment. I got the opportunity to collaborate directly with employers from CaffeBerry.co and provided me with practical, hands-on experience in the realm of website . Being able to apply theoretical knowledge gained through the program in a real-world setting was immensely beneficial. Engaging with employers facilitated a continuous feedback loop, enabling me to iterate and improve upon my skills iteratively. This iterative process fostered a mindset of constant improvement and refinement. I gained exposure to industry-standard tools, techniques, and methodologies. Overall, the experience has been instrumental in my professional development as a Webdeveloper. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from industry experts and apply my knowledge in a real-world context, and I look forward to leveraging this experience as I progress in my career.

Working with Shabs has a been great and memorable! I really enjoyed the team dynamic. I am glad that I had the opportunity to work for CaffeBerry.co

Caffeberry is a dynamic young company that was a pleasure to work with, and its owner, Shabs, is an energetic hard working businessman with a lot to offer learners on this platform.

Great time being a part of this team as I was with a welcoming and understanding team.

We had limited time to work with the employer but they have a great product they are trying to launch. Communication could have been a little better, but my partner and I took the reigns for the project from the employer since we had previous leadership experience.

It was a pleasure working with the founders of caffeberry.co and learning more about the benefits of upcycling cascara into useful environmentally friendly health supplements.
