No I don't work for Trump, but he is using the official White House website I helped design for President Obama. I led design/ux at the White House for nearly 4 years. Rather than designing his own site, Trump grabbed our site by it's Zen 5 theme, replaced the fonts, added a bit of content and is using it to "MAGA". He kept the exact header design, the high level site architecture and the internal page templates. The site we designed belonged to the U.S. government, so he had every right to do this. Props to Ashleigh Axios and James Hobbs for doing lots of work on our Obama version and getting it out the door. The original Obama site lives on in the National Archives for eternity.

Follow along as I add a bunch more Obama design work as well as my recent product design projects.
