Celebrate the launch of AIGA Minnesota’s Emerging Designers site
First, the party: 6:30 to 8:30 (that’s tonight folks) at Sevnthsin, 1121 Jackson Street Northeast Suite 144 Minneapolis [More info]
Second, the reason: To celebrate the launch of AIGA Minnesota’s Emerging Designers website. The site, is dedicated to providing Minnesota entry-level designers a place to connect with other designers, learn about the local design community, and access resources for professional development.
The site was designed by Sventhsin and put together by nerds. Specifically, our own Gillian Reynolds knocked this one out of the ballpark with a bit of help from others around The Nerdery.
Gillian said working on the site was a lot of fun even with some of the complex work involved in filtering AIGA’s job listings by locale.
“The site’s design is great,” Gillian said. “It was a lot of work, but Sevnthsin provided everything I needed to do it.” She mentioned that she really liked the way the Events calendar worked.
In a move that’s a little unusual for The Nerdery, Gillian worked on this project solo. “It’s funny,” she said. “When you develop a site alone you sort of take ownership of it, and you want to make sure everything is looking exactly right and is done exactly right.”
Which is why, even though this was a solo project she still turned to her fellow nerds to help her out a few times. “I’m really pleased with how it all turned out,” Gillian said. “It’s going to be a great resource for designers.”
