dear door walker,
I’m Irene—artist, storyteller, and the founder of Door Walker Coffee.
At twenty-one, I sat alone in a Colorado diner staring down my very first cup of coffee.
I had just left a religion that taught me coffee was forbidden by God.
In that moment, it wasn’t just a drink—it was a declaration. A small, rebellious act of self-trust.
Since then, I’ve built a life around choosing change.
I started writing music under the name Irene’s Entropy (hence the song title names for the light, medium, and dark roast), earned a degree in mechanical engineering (hence the math equations for espresso, decaf, and cold brew), and began sharing my story with millions.
In my music videos, a red door often appears—a symbol of transformation, of walking toward your truest self.
That’s what Door Walker Coffee is all about. I created it as a ritual for anyone standing at the edge of change.
Because sometimes, one sip—rather, one choice—really can change your life.
