Tesfa.org - We're taking off!

I've recently done a lot of design for a friend of mine, Dana Roskey, who runs the Tesfa Foundation. Tesfa (which means 'hope' in Amharic) is a local non-profit grass-roots charity organization that builds schools in Ethiopia (and soon other countries) for kids who otherwise wouldn't have access to early childhood education.  These schools are built on a shoestring budget, and dollars go very far in Ethiopia: the first Tesfa school was built for $5,000, and they've got seven of them now.  Teacher salaries are only $50 a month, so they're not difficult to keep funded through student sponsorships.  

Web DesignBrothers Dani Kollin and Eytan Kollin needed a website (and business cards, custom stock certificates, flyers, and more) to publicize their first book. “LOVE IT!” Dani told me, “this is what you add to a project that someone outside of SF would NEVER think of. Man, I'm dizzy with delight.”
Web DesignMark Heath wanted a unique and eye-catching site to sell his cartoons. My solution—tailored to his individual needs—was, he said, “reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes pointing out the concealed obvious. It was perfect. Excellent. Thank you. love it.”
Web DesignIan Tregillis is a science fiction author who wanted a website that would generate attention about his current and future writing projects. He wanted to measure success using straight page hits. I created a site that was visually rich, with plenty of interactive pieces along the way. “I'm speechless. You've exhausted my vocabulary for amazement,” Ian wrote to me, “This is a thousand times cooler than I had even imagined. It's just... wow. Wow.”

Ian's website has won two 2008 W3 Silver Awards, an Adobe Site of the Day, and has been featured on coolhomepages.com.
Print Design TigerOx Painting, a local home painting contractor, needed a holiday greeting card to keep them in front of their existing clients and generate new business during the traditionally slow winter season. They could tell if it worked by how many of their clients called and mentioned the card. 3232 Design created a perforated origami rat card which invited their clients to play. “People love it,” TigerOx tells us, “they’ve been putting them together with their kids. And it’s generated a huge response!”

Last year's TigerOx origami card won the Communicator Award of Excellence for print design.
Ad Design TigerOx Painting wanted to try a new approach to their winter ad campaign, and asked me to come up with something that would really catch the eye of potential clients this winter. TigerOx was looking for an increase in calls, estimates and ultimately projects scheduled during the winter months. I came up with the idea of using a meat thermometer since it would stand out among the other contractor's ads in the local paper.
Brand Design Local headhunter FindSource, Inc. was looking for a clean, approachable, yet professional-looking logo that would represent how they bring their clients and potential candidates together.
