UNWOMEN.ORG
Through an invigorating collaboration with UN Women’s in house IT team, working against the clock, we designed and developed their web site in four weeks to meet the official opening date.
- description2: We lead a day-long workshop with the four UN organizations that have merged to create UN Women, generating a site architecture to meld their diverse hierarchical systems. The new site is a powerful media and resource channel, delivering current news and multimedia content to individuals, human rights organizations and member states, while at the same time increasing awareness of UN Women’s initiatives and focus areas. Launch site.

Millennium Cities Initiative
As part of Columbia University’s Earth Institute, MCI is committed to improving the quality of life for millions of Africa’s urban residents by helping them create sustainable cities.

The first depicts the severe poverty faced by many urban Africans, while the second spotlights accomplishments made thus far in the global movement to eradicate poverty. Ever hopeful about Africa’s bright future, we’re glad to be an MCI partner.
WomensTrust.org
With microfinance at the heart of its activities, WomensTrust is a model for bringing resources and community-based support directly to the developing world.
- description2: We collaborated with founder Dana Dakin years ago when she worked as a successful marketing consultant to leading investment entities. When Dana turned sixty, she flew to Ghana and started WomensTrust. Her enthusiasm for her work is contagious, so we joined forces to completely overhaul the WomensTrust website. Designed to be a powerful fundraising tool, the site features tiered donation opportunities, a multi-media section with videos and slideshows, links to resources, and “From the Field” regularly updated blog posts.
