State of Michigan Digital Guidelines
The story
In 2017, the State of Michigan's department of Technology, Management and Budget saw a need to create a cohesive landscape for its digital products. Too often, various agencies would create their own bespoke products that left citizens wondering if they were truly on a state of Michigan site or digital space. This problem is what led to the creation of the Digital Guidelines - a unified set of UI elements, branding and set of interactions that gave citizens the comfort of knowing they were on an official state of Michigan website or app.
How I contributed
I was contracted in to the State of Michigan to bring this product to life. Working with a great team of designers, product owners and leaders, we were able to stand up the initial version of the digital guidelines and even work on specific agency products that used it. My work on this contract and on this project ranged all the way from design strategy, to UI design to information architecture.
