Turn Toward The Sun

Joseph and I recently designed and developed a portfolio website for Heliotrope Architects, a firm based in Ballard, WA. The project itself was quite a change of pace from the things I've typically dealt with as of late. Most significant of which is a personal interest in what it is they actually do.

If I go back and look at all the projects I've done in the past, without a doubt the ones that I am most proud of, or at least enjoyed the most are the ones where I've had a personal interest in what it is the client is trying to do. The clients themselves could of been exceptionally difficult, or the timeline could of been ridiculous, but if they were trying to do or create something that I felt even remotely interested in, that just resulted in a better deliverable from me (us), and a better impression of how the project actually went. Not in the "save the earth" sense, but in the "I just like what they do" sense. Vague I know, but it's that extra motivating layer that can really make a difference in whether I view a project as "good" or not.

Anyway, here are a couple of my favorite projects of theirs, and be sure to check out more of their work.
