Land of breakfast tacos, the largest bat colony in North America, and Live Music Capital of the World. Recently, I decided it was time for a change, and although it wasn’t an easy decision, I’ve moved Killswitch back to my home state of Texas. We’ve covered a full spectrum of work, from corporate to creative, and with every unique project we’ve learned something new. We’ve worked with so many great people-designers, programmers and clients alike-and we’ve been fortunate to be involved with some pretty amazing projects along the way. Two and a half years later, The Killswitch Collective was born, and Chicago has been a wonderful home for us all these years. Nearly 16 years ago, I moved to the Windy City to study graphic design at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. We elected to use Shopify’s “Buy Button” which is placed directly on the website and enables slick purchasing integration, and the products on Tessoro’s site are easily synced up to the Shopify platform avoiding any manual busy work. The entire site is now easily usable on phones, and in addition, we also integrated Shopify for retail e-commerce. This was an interesting challenge, but the clean html markup enabled us to add a responsive mobile layout to the site with relative ease. Of course, in 2008, it was only one year after the iPhone had been released, and no accommodations for mobile had been made. Tessoro is still extremely happy with the way the website looked but wanted a mobile version. We had originally built her website in 2008, and it was time for some updates. Moved by the earth, sky and sea of the Mediterranean coast in Spain, her aim is to design modern pieces of jewelry heavily influenced by nature. Tessoro is an inspiring Minnesota jewelry studio founded by Deborah Bushinski. In the meantime you can read the first story here.
We’ll be working on more stories with Atlas Network and expand on and tightly integrate these with their existing website. We’ve woven in beautiful photography, videos, tweetable pull quotes and Brazil-inspired elements to pull readers in and encourage them to share so that the Brazilian freedom movement can continue to grow. It’s a story of hope, and we hope you’ll enjoy it.
Dixon, highlights some of the network’s partners in Brazil and how they’re using their influence to bring about long-term change to a country that has endured so many problems and so much suffering over the years. Atlas Network is a nonprofit organization connecting a global network of more than 400 free-market organizations in over 80 countries to the ideas and resources needed to advance the cause of liberty. We’ve just launched a new story section on that highlights the positive changes going on in Brazil right now.
