• Welcome to the online showcase of Sr. User Interface Designer, Bill Judge.

    For the last eight years, I've designed stunning, easy-to-use websites and applications for businesses and non-profits of all sizes, including several Fortune 500 companies.

    The products I create are the result of a rich, multi-disciplinary creative and technical background, a commitment to sweating the small stuff, and a firm belief in simple, yet inspiring design, web standards, and usability.

    I help businesses solve problems and engage customers to achieve real, quantifiable, sustainable results. But don't take my word for it - see for yourself!

    Enjoy! Bill Judge

  • I'm passionate about my work, and I do it well.

    I've built my experience by designing, developing and supporting websites and applications for well over 100 local, regional and national businesses and organizations.

    I currently fill a lead support role with The Kroger Co., providing administration and technical support for Kroger's family of consumer sites. I also held a key role in the redesign, rearchitecture and relaunch of these sites beginning in 2007, providing creative direction, user interface design and front-end development in support of the relaunch.

    I recently joined the Kroger UI Center of Excellence, a multi-disciplinary team of UI and UX Designers, Usability Engineers and Software Developers focusing on developing assets to promote consistency and reusability for the design of Kroger websites and applications. Among the projects I've been involved with include the visual redesign of Kroger's company Intranet, and a lead role in the development of a web accessibility roadmap for the Kroger enterprise.

  • A small sampling of projects from 2005-present.
