Azerbaijanis Who Design
Design & Development of directory Azerbaijani Designers
This platform highlights the work and talent of Azerbaijani designers, inspiring new talents, diversifying networks for experienced designers, and connecting companies with hidden talents
How I started Azerbaijanis Who Designs
In the winter of 2021, I got an idea to build a directory of Azerbaijani designers, inspired by other similar projects.
In January, I designed, built, and launched the platform with an easily navigable interface.
Design approach
I drew inspiration from editorial design and blended it with a paper-style approach, using a range of subtle and pale, multicolored hues
Structure and features
The main feature of the platform is the homepage, where all the onboarded designers are displayed.
By clicking on a specific designer's profile, you can access a section with detailed information about that designer. Each designer also has a unique profile link for easy sharing
Logo
Making the logo as a carpet pattern with an eye in the center I wanted to convey the heritage of Azerbaijani carpet designers.
As the brand is about designers and every designer has an artistic eye (also called the third eye, seeing from a different perspective) I set the eye in the center of the carpet pattern

Technologies
The website was developed using Nuxt.js (Vue.js), Tailwind CSS, and uses an Airtable database for managing content
I store images on Cloudinary, collect designer data through Tally forms, and automate tasks with Zapier
