Wrapping Up 2012

2013-03-12T14:08:54+00:00

As one year ends and another begins, it is only natural to look back and reflect while planning and gearing up for what is ahead. At {e} house studio, we take our holiday project as just that, a project. We try not to think of it as another thing on our never ending to-do list but as an opportunity to have fun together and showcase the wide array of talents in our community and our team while saying a heart felt “thank you” to those that we have had the chance to work with over the last year. So as Spring is flirting with us in the near future, we wanted to take this opportunity to take one more look back at our experience with the 2012 Good{e}’s project. Because we were having so much fun, we decided to document the process. Join us in watching our short “debut” film about our annual Good{e}’s project.

2011-12-01T03:12:31+00:00

Just in time for holiday hope and cheer, the Charleston Elves site is live and already many children have been ‘elfed.’ After setting a great foundation from project introduction to logo redesign, detailed information architecture and site redesign, the development team got to work to put all the pieces together. I was excited to take on the last leg of an amazing project for a cause that all of us at {e} house feel passionate about supporting.

2011-10-27T13:54:21+00:00

The Charleston Elves have a uniquely compelling story and mission, and it’s that story that resonates with people and moves them to want to help.
