Built Studios

Built Studios is moving! We’re moving our operations down to Eugene Oregon. I’ll be attending graduate school for architecture this summer. Don’t be alarmed, I’ll continue to work with my existing client base as well as hoping to gain new Eugene-based clients. 

The trend continues…the majority of work lately has been websites for local restaurants and start-ups. In the works is a website for ice cream maker, Chad Draizin (also my studiomate), an updated site for Oregon Microenterprise Network, as well as an updated site for Detour Cafe.

So far March has been filled with designing websites and interviewing with potential new clients. There are a few exciting project that we’ll be bidding on this month, we’re keeping our fingers crossed. Chad Draizin of Fifty Licks (he makes handmade ice cream) is now sharing a studio space with Built. We’ve had the chance to participate in some yummy ice cream tastings as he is refining his ice cream base.

Its been a busy February here at Built Studios. I’ve completed my furniture pieces for Project Chaboo. The completed pieces (and goofy pictures of me) can be viewed here and as well as here. This weekend I had the pleasure of biking around Portland with a few friends visiting modern homes on the 11x Designs tour. I appreciated seeing the buildings in the different stages of development. Kudos to all the local architects that participated.

This week I am busy working on packaging for a friend who sells seaweed that is hand-harvested off the Maine seashore, look for She Sells Seaweed packaging soon. I’m also putting the finishing touches on some web materials for Sustainable Harvest and some weekly ads for Blue Sage Cafe.

Its been unusually sunny in Portland this last week. I took advantage of the awesome natural light and have been shooting new work. As promised the new work is up here.
