• 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.

    Currently, I fill a lead support role with The Kroger Co., providing MOSS 2007 web content management administration and technical support for Kroger's family of consumer sites. I also held a pivotal role in the redesign, rearchitecture and relaunch of these sites between 2006-2008, providing creative direction, UI design, front-end development, and overseeing implemenetation of the new visual design.

    I recently joined the Kroger UI Center of Excellence, a multi-disciplinary team of UI and UX Designers, Usability Engineers and Software Developers that focuses on developing resources and assets to promote consistency, reusability and best practices for the UI design of Kroger websites and applications. Among the projects I've been involved with include the visual redesign of Kroger's company Intranet.
