Portfolio

Carnegie Hall

Carnegie Hall asked for an interactive website to complement Musical Explorers, a free curriculum that connects students in grades K-2 to diverse musical communities. The architecture we built for Musical Explorers set the stage for another site: an Orchestra Map to pair with Link Up, a participatory orchestra program for students in grades 3-5.

Gemini

For many years, Bitcoin exchanges operated in the dark corners of the web, perceived as controversial, risky, and amateur. But to many, those same exchanges also represented the future of money. In 2015, the founders of New York’s first Bitcoin exchange, the Winklevoss twins, took a different approach. They embraced regulation and made their exchange a fully compliant and registered enterprise, holding the highest levels of both capital reserves and compliance to banking standards.Our challenge was to balance the excitement that new technology holds with the reliability and security of traditional investment vehicles. And it was from this desire for balance that the Gemini brand was born.

Plentiful

Every year, 130 million pounds of free food is distributed to 1.4 million New Yorkers who depend on it. But the process of getting that food has been far from dependable. Food pantries struggled to organize information and modernize their intake process, while people regularly spent hours waiting in line, sometimes ending up with nothing.NYC Food Assistance Collaborative was looking for a way to both enhance customer service and improve data collection in emergency food. Together we made Plentiful, a free reservation system for food pantries and the people they serve.

Summary

Working with Big Human was a transformative experience for our company. Their dedication to understanding our brand vision and delivering tailored solutions was evident throughout the engagement. While there were challenges in the ideation process, the overall partnership was marked by professionalism, creativity, and a commitment to excellence.

Project Description

Big Human collaborated with us to define our brand identity, including selecting a name and designing logos. They also assisted us with addressing our Slack capacity requirements for launching microsites and supported the redesign of our marketing website. Our team worked closely with approximately six individuals from Big Human, including creative experts and Managing Partner Steve. We initiated this partnership in August 2014 and concluded in April 2018, transitioning the project in-house midway through the website redesign process.

Pros

Big Human exhibited a high level of communication and personalized attention throughout the project. They demonstrated genuine care for our goals and maintained a strong focus on delivering quality outcomes. Their ability to establish a strong rapport with our team was impressive, fostering a collaborative and productive working relationship.

Cons

The ideation process for selecting a name involved multiple rounds of back-and-forth, leading to delays in finalizing a decision. This could have been mitigated by providing clearer project objectives and expectations from the outset. Additionally, there were instances where more detailed information upfront could have enhanced the project outcomes.
