Spring Recap

May 30, 2007

Well spring is almost over and I have to say that it’s been really busy and exciting these last few months.

Austin

SXSW Interactive I was in Austin again this year for SXSW Interactive and as usual, it was an awesome experience. It was great hanging out with friends, meeting new people, and putting faces with others who I have talked to over the past year. There also were several really good panels and the screening of a movie with a typeface as the leading role.

National Multiple Sclerosis Society Not too long after that, I again participated in the annual BP MS150 bike tour from Houston to Austin. I didn’t think it was possible, but this year’s experience was even better than last year’s.

Recently Launched

There are three projects that I’ve been heavily involved with lately that have recently launched.

designgive

designgive This was and still is a great project for me; I truly enjoy working on it. I’m collaborating with Chris from Tomato Creative to create and develop this apparel site for designers by designers. All designs are by featured artists, and with each purchase, a donation is made to the charity of your choice.

Montechino

Montechino I designed and developed this web site for Montechino, a master-planned lakefront community reminiscent of European villages on the edge of Lake Travis, just outside of Austin.

Stewart

Stewart Along with my team members, we recently redesigned Stewart’s corporate website. In addition to creating a new look and feel, we have also added some new functionality. You can read Matt’s post for more information.

New Job

whiteboardlabsLastly, as of May 1st, I am now the Senior Designer at whiteboardlabs. It’s a great opportunity and I’m very excited about becoming a member of their team and working on some great projects.

However, I will greatly miss the team of talented individuals who I had the pleasure of working with at Stewart.

Nice post Darren, congratulations on your new position.

Did you guys re-design whiteboard as well? The site looks a bit different.

Simon – Thanks a lot. The site was redone right before I started. We haven’t redesigned it since then, but I have made a few tweaks to the CSS. That’s probably what you are noticing.
