About project

SGI is a global network with millions of members. We partnered with its U.S. leadership to bring clarity to the digital systems that help communities connect, learn, and operate at scale.

Challenges & Solutions

Problem

One organization, many ways of working.

Member records, events, reporting, regional teams and a public bookstore all needed to feel connected without becoming overwhelming.

Solution

Build confidence through a clear system.

We simplified dense workflows into a consistent interface with calm hierarchy, understandable actions, and patterns that scale across teams.

A connected product ecosystem.

From early product direction to detailed interface design, the work made two essential SGI experiences easier to navigate, manage, and grow.

SGI Portal

We redesigned the internal platform that supports a large, decentralized organization - from member tracking and reporting to event planning and communication. A precise visual language makes complex operational work easier to understand at a glance.

SGI Bookstore

For practitioners and the broader public, we modernized the educational bookstore around accessibility, discoverability, and conversion - from browsing and search through product details, cart, and checkout.
