Design and build a website for a venture capital firm based in DC & NYC.

The directive from the client was to leverage a space theme and bring a design unity across the different sections of the experience. Each one of the following blocks had a corresponding page that followed the overarching design pattern. I mocked the designs in sketch and shared them with the client in Invision throughout the design phase.

call to action

The website was built in Wordpress for ease of editing by the client and required a significant amount of custom html and css to transform the original template into the accepted designs. It was my first experience creating in wordpress so I was learning while building and required different considerations for developing the system to be pick up and used by the client after the site is set up. It also opened my eyes to the expansiveness of the Wordpress ecosystem and the different themes/plugins available for creators to leverage.

Humble's website was my first dive into client work and exposed me to managing the product development process with external stakeholders. Proactive communication works wonders in managing expectations and frequent updates makes sure everyone is on the same page throughout the process. Being clear about what blockers arise and when input is needed ensures the right prioritizations are made, leading to the right outcomes. I’m excited for the next client project and thankful for the opportunity to work with such a great organization.
