January 2025 - Title (1)

As part of our 2025 New Year’s Resolution, we’re embracing a year of growth at Savas Labs. For us, growth isn’t just about numbers—it’s about mindset. Whether it’s expanding our impact with clients, fostering innovation within our teams, or elevating collaboration between designers and developers, we’re committed to continuous improvement. To celebrate our 10-year anniversary, we’ve been in the workshop building a special microsite (dropping soon šŸ‘€), showcasing how far we’ve come and the craft and collaboration that define us. View a sneak peek below…

 

Speaking of growth, we’re excited to announce that our presence is expanding with the addition of our newest office in San Francisco! Check out the space here! 🌁

 

These milestones remind us that growth is not just about where we are—it’s about how we evolve, learn, and challenge ourselves every step of the way! šŸ‘£

šŸ’Ŗ Featured Work

We’re excited to highlight our previous collaboration with Global Teaching Partners (GTP). GTP is an international educator network that works to place K-12 global teachers in U.S. schools and communities to engage in cross-cultural activities and experiences. Through their Global Educator Program, international educators and U.S. students exchange cultural insights and foster appreciation for diverse cultures. Additionally, GTP collaborates with its Global Educators to secure K-12 teaching positions, mainly in North Carolina, for up to five years. šŸ« šŸŽ


Through in-person workshops and our collaboration together, we designed a website that aligned with GTP’s mission and brought a higher quantity of quality applications. Curious about our thought process behind this project? Take a look at our case study →

šŸ“£ Client shoutout 

A special shoutout to Duke University, our longtime partner in digital innovation! Having previously collaborated on their website redesign for the Duke Pratt School of Engineering, we’re excited to work with them again—this time to build a new microsite in anticipation of the upcoming renovation of the Hudson Hall Engineering Building, originally opened in 1948. Our goal is to honor the storied history of Hudson Hall while introducing a fresh, modern image.

Building on our past work with Duke Pratt, we’re extending the design system we developed to blend nostalgia with a contemporary twist to celebrate the future of engineering at Duke University. šŸ”— Check out the case study of our previous work with Duke Pratt!
