Founded in 1994 in Seattle, Speakeasy was one of the first internet cafes in the world. It was eventually sold and absorbed by other corporations, and the founders were interested in preserving its unique cultural history and impact.
Working with the founders, I interviewed dozens of former employees, researched news archives, and collected artifacts.
I designed the website using WordPress and continue to administer a scholarship fund, as well as continuously update and add new stories to the collection.
