Annasea is a seafood wholesaler, importer, exporter, processor and distributor based in Kent, WA. This family-owned business started 20 years ago with just six employees, but now has operations in the continental US, Hawaii, and Asia.

The goal of the site redesign was to show Annasea’s global growth and demonstrate their commitment to sustainable fishing and high-quality product. We also showcased their dominance in the emerging poke market. (Their products are found everywhere from Target to Costco.) We used custom video and photography to show the full spectrum of their business offerings. This is one of the most delicious projects to cross my desk in a long time.

Legal Planet is a collaborative blog from environmental legal scholars from UCLA School of Law and UC Berkeley School of Law. This site offers timely insight and analysis into energy and environmental law, inspired by the threat of climate change.

The schools came to me looking to refresh the design their site, make it more mobile friendly and bring the site software up to date. Since there are are more than 30 contributors, it had to be easy to maintain. The site also had to integrate a automatic newsletter which was sent with new posts.

I am excited to share the launch of the new site for Helix Design + Build, a Bellevue, WA-based home building and interior design business. WOWZA these are some beautiful homes—the hardest part was selecting the photos to use. I worked with the owner to equally promote the different services of the business and let the photography of past work for happy clients testify to their expertise.

You might see Michael Golden talking politics on Chicago’s WGN, read his articles in national publications like The Washington Post, or listen to his interviews on the Golden Mean Podcast.

He’s also behind social initiatives like One Million Degrees and Spark Chicago and an experienced political consultant. In sum, Michael consistently brings talented people together and helps them create magic.

For his site redesign, Michael wanted a unique, color-saturated design that reflected the breadth of his work, showcased career achievements, and made it easy for site visitors to get in touch.

No Surrender tells the incredible story of Roddie Edmonds, a humble American WWII soldier from East Tennessee. Not even Roddie’s son Chris—who always considered his father a hero—knew the full details of Roddie’s capture at the Battle of the Bulge or his captivity at Stalag IXA, a Nazi POW camp. But when Chris’s daughter was assigned a family history project, Chris reread Roddie’s wartime diaries, which set in motion a series of life-changing events.

The site introduces this compelling story, showcases exclusive photography, and promotes upcoming tour dates. As always, I just love working with my book people any chance I get. Check out the website.

Halle Butler Hara is a lawyer and law professor at Capital University. Her vision was to create a site that provides resources to help law students everywhere thrive—academically, emotionally, and practically.

Included is an extensive podcast series (available on the site, iTunes, Stitcher and Spotify), blog, and invitation to connect. We built the site in Squarespace and her talented husband Josh Hara created all of the illustrations. See the website.

Tanenbaum International Literary Agency is a boutique firm located in New York City. With their site redesign, they wanted to tidy up the look and feel of the site, while still showcasing the wide range of their authors and books. Also, it was important to have the site optimized for mobile devices.

We used a dynamic slider to show the books, tightened up the copy, and made the navigation as simple as possible. I know I say this every time I work with a book-related project, but I absolutely love working with the folks in the publishing industry.

EVBuzz is a new Bellevue, WA-based consultancy that includes top sales and management professionals from the burgeoning electric vehicle industry. Their goal is to poise their clients to meet the demands for this emerging market.

Yvonne Palka is an award-winning sumi-e artist who has written and illustrated a variety of books. Recently, Penguin / Random House published her book, Super Simple Sumi-e, a book a reviewer called “the most adorable book in the universe.”

The Monacelli Press is a Manhattan-based publisher of illustrated books on architecture, fine art, interior design, landscape architecture, photography, fashion and design.

Our task was twofold. First, Monacelli wanted to significantly modernize the site design, allowing the stunning artwork from the books to drive the site’s look and feel. Secondly, they wanted us to connect the book data with Penguin/RandomHouse via API so content would dynamically import into the site daily. Also, we needed to make each book available for purchase from one of five sites.
