Shake Shack: expressing love for technology and hamburgers

Custom WordPress site / Ongoing feature development / Relationship & contracts

ShakeShack.com is both the public face, and the tip of the spear for career recruitment for one of the world's fastest-growing, exciting restaurant brands. The site's stewardship under STUDIO has included the opening of over a dozen locations, a complete overhaul of the recruitment/employee intake process, an IPO, and -- most impressively -- the addition of hot dogs to the Shack menu. In that time, STUDIO's relationship with Shake Shack escalated from design, to implementation, maintenance retainer, and into full feature development. All of this was made possible through trust, and a positive partnership; and all of that was made possible because Shake Shack were an absolute joy to work with.

Luciano Barbera: learning about sprezzatura, hands on

New business / Award-winning Drupal site / Outrageously beautiful clothing

LucianoBarbera.com marked the first break into e-commerce for one of the world's oldest, most respected, Italian clothing brands. Needless to say, stakes were high. To ensure success, STUDIO partnered with Drupal experts Commerce Guys to architect a rock-solid back-end; performed an onsite design intake and photography survey in Biella, Italy; and developed a heavily-customized front-end that pushed the boundaries of not only responsive design, but CMS configurability. The result is a Communicator Award-winning experience for both the brand and the consumer, set to grow with the same quiet elegance as Mr. Barbera himself.
