The challenge
In a world that often overlooks the vibrancy and ingenuity of Black women and non-binary creatives, the Rememory Directory stands as a beacon of recognition and celebration. While our role in this endeavour was confined to development, the essence of the project resonated with our ethos of promoting inclusivity and diversity through digital platforms.
The Rememory Directory, envisioned and designed in-house by Mia Coleman, serves as a growing repository of creatives, shedding light on the profound work and experiences of Black women and non-binary individuals in the global media landscape. Our task was to translate this vision into a fluid, user-centric digital platform that echoes the project's core values.
What we built
The directory
The heart of the Rememory Directory lies in its simple yet intuitive interface, enabling users to navigate smoothly through a rich range of creative portfolios. The directory feature is the nucleus of the platform, where the brilliance of each creative is showcased and celebrated.
The About us page
The 'About us' page captures the project’s essence, explaining the raison d'être of the Rememory Directory. It's a narrative that digs into the heart of the project, spelling out the commitment to reclaiming narratives, gazes, and legacies often overlooked or misrepresented.
How it runs
Behind the scenes, the site features live search filters and is completely managed in Airtable, with Whalesync, Zapier and Jetboost integrations as well as a fair bit of custom code. If you are curious about the no-code automation side of things, we wrote up a popular post section built with Zapier and Google Sheets.
Our approach
Though we didn't have a hand in the design, the aesthetic of the platform is a visual treat, mirroring the creativity and diversity it represents. The vibrant imagery, coupled with a clean, modern layout, provides a captivating user experience, making the exploration of creative portfolios a delightful endeavour.
Our development process was about ensuring that the in-house design translated flawlessly into a live digital platform. It was about ensuring that each pixel resonated with the project's core ethos of celebrating diversity and creativity. If you are building a similar directory, our notes on seamless pagination in Webflow may help.
The result
The Rememory Directory is more than just a digital platform; it's a narrative, a statement, and a step towards a more inclusive representation in the global media world. Our role, albeit confined to development, was delivered with a commitment to uphold the integrity and essence of this noble endeavour. You can see the result live at rememory.directory.
