Clarifying a government tool with a new brand and UX

The platform was useful—but misunderstood. Its name was an awkward acronym. Many users thought it was just one of several tools, not the hub that connected them. Help was hard to find, the login process was clunky, and overall, the brand lacked clarity and cohesion.

The team needed a new name, a clearer identity, and a better user experience—especially around support.

My approach

I partnered with the internal team to lead naming workshops, brand strategy sessions, and UX discovery.

Here’s what we did:

  • Renamed the platform “Maestro” to reflect orchestration, clarity, and ease of use
  • Designed a modern logo using overlapping circles to show integration and unity
  • Gathered user feedback to pinpoint friction in onboarding and support
  • Redesigned the Help Center to streamline access to answers and request tracking
  • Simplified the login and homepage experience to reduce confusion and clicks

The result? A platform that finally reflected the value it delivered.

Why it matters

When your product is misunderstood or underused, branding and UX aren’t just surface issues—they’re business-critical. I help teams like this one bring their tools into alignment with what users actually need.

Clearer brand. Better experience. Less noise.

Their values were clear on the inside—but not online. I restructured the site from scratch to reflect who they really were.
