Business cards Seattle: a virtual business card for South Lake Union and Bellevue tech campuses

South Lake Union and Bellevue, two tech centers

South Lake Union has transformed into a dense cluster of tech company campuses, with cloud computing and software teams occupying much of the neighborhood's office space within a short walk of South Lake Union itself. Across the water, Bellevue has grown into a genuine second tech hub on the Eastside, home to major cloud and enterprise software offices and a fast-growing skyline of its own. Meetings in both places tend to happen inside secure corporate campuses with badge-controlled lobbies, where a quick QR scan or shared link at a front desk introduction is far more practical than fumbling for a paper card while a host waits.

A card that opens a digital profile matches how these teams already work.

Aerospace, Washington State Convention Center and the weather factor

The Puget Sound region's aerospace industry, anchored by major aircraft manufacturing operations south of the city, brings a different, more traditionally engineering-driven networking culture, where meetings often mix office visits with facility tours under strict site security. An online profile shared by link or an on-screen QR code avoids relying on a paper card that gets creased or lost at a security checkpoint.

Downtown, the Washington State Convention Center hosts a regular calendar of technology and industry conferences that draw both local campus employees and out-of-town attendees, and a QR code on a badge captures contacts quickly during a busy show. Seattle's famously wet weather is also a practical factor: the profile lives online, so it can be sent by message or email instead of relying on paper in the rain.
