“The goal of a designer is to listen, observe, understand, sympathize, empathize, synthesize, and glean insights that enable him or her to ‘make the invisible visible.'” – Hillman Curtis
Justin Whedon – Professional Portfolio
I’m a creative and strategic design leader with 25+ years of experience in user-centered design, UX/UI, branding, and digital product development. I’ve led projects for government agencies, non-profits, and private sector clients—always with a focus on delivering elegant, effective user experiences.
Currently, I serve as Vice President of Design at Information Experts, where I oversee digital strategy, guide multidisciplinary teams, and shape high-impact design solutions across multiple platforms.
Outside of work, I’m expanding my skill set in Python programming, with a focus on AI development, machine learning, and data analysis—learning how to bridge creative design thinking with technical innovation.
I thrive in collaborative environments, enjoy translating complex problems into clean design systems, and always stay curious about what’s next in both design and technology.
Design Process (How I work)
My design style is a “toolkit approach.” Just like a Swiss army knife, I come equipped with a variety of design tools and techniques that I can adapt to any situation. I have the ability to jump into any project, understand the client’s needs, and develop a plan that solves their problem efficiently and effectively. My process is rooted in the principles of Agile, which allows me to work seamlessly with cross-functional teams to deliver the best results. With years of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table, making me a valuable asset to any project.

I have 5 years of collective experience designing and building online learning courses for corporations (VantagePoint Performance), US Government (US Army) and 501c3 non-profits (Tigerlily Foundation).
Web Applications & Mobile Applications (iOS)
I have a wealth of experience in developing web-based and mobile applications for a wide range of clients, including associations, political campaigns, super PACs, and personal projects.
