When the Covid pandemic first hit, I was at a phase where I felt I needed to be ‘bigger’, where I wanted to offer much more to my clients than my confidence felt adequate offering.

I met about then, online, a new friend who had complementary skills to mine, and together, we launched the Deaf Blue Cats. We had so much fun developing and branding ourselves, as well as doing projects for several new clients, that I hardly even noticed the isolating aspects of the pandemic.

Although this partnership did not last post-Covid, I polished my web skills and learned new ones.

A fun logo:

Made so many ‘faces’ to represent the variety of services offered:

Business cards with a QR code on the front sends people directly to the website, with contact information on the back:

Ads that were used on other websites and social media:

And of course, a lot of hours went into the website:

The Deaf Blue Cats blog serves a heavy double-duty as both a portfolio and a blog, with multi-layers of categories and tags…. What can I say? I find information design fun. Nerdy, nerdy me.

Anyhow. The website looks much the same since I left it behind. My ex-partner sits on it now. Check it out for the cheesy iconography I’m capable of.
