SCROLL
Case / 01Gov · Regional Planning

R6 Regional Council, Utah

Complete website redesign for a Central Utah regional government body — building a brand color palette from scratch, crafting a clean Apple-inspired layout, and designing a mega menu that makes complex navigation feel simple.

Case / 02Gov · Visual Design

Archbold, Ohio

Government website redesign for a small northwest Ohio village — transforming a cluttered, overlapping layout into a clean, confident design built around their navy and gold brand, a grid calendar their residents actually asked for, and navigation that doesn't require a map to use.

Case / 03Utility · Visual Design

South Fork Water, Oregon

Website redesign for a wholesale water authority serving Oregon City and West Linn — designed around their "simplicity is brilliant" philosophy and the natural heritage of the Clackamas River headwaters. Pure water since 1915.

Case / 04Gov · Multi-Site

City of Clive, Iowa

Multi-site redesign for a city whose identity is literally nature — three distinct but cohesive sites for City Hall, the Public Library, and Parks & Recreation built around the Greenbelt trail system that defines Clive.

Case / 05Gov · Visual Design

Temple, Texas

Large city website redesign across three sub-sites — five revision cycles, mobile-first design exports, and coordinated design for City Hall, the Public Library, and Parks & Recreation. A masterclass in client iteration.

Design
that lives
inside
Figma

I'm a UI/UX designer who spends most of his day in Figma — building systems, not just screens. I design with variables, tokens, and modes baked in from the start so that the work is maintainable, scalable, and developer-ready.

At Revize Software Systems, I led visual design across 170+ government website projects, built and maintained the company's Figma component library, and overhauled how our team uses AI tools to move faster without losing quality.

I'm looking for a role where Figma is a first-class tool — on a product team that cares about design systems, accessibility, and shipping real work.
