Youth-led (the client team is literal teenagers) website mapping “third places” where Portland-area kids can hang out. Scrubjay employed Claude Code as an especially helpful rubber duck to deliver early, over scope, and under budget. Logo by Double O Design.

Homepage and fundraising hub for McKenna McKee, US Champion track cyclist and 2028 Olympic hopeful.

We designed and built the flagship membership website for the Global Solar Council, an industry group of more than 50 foundations, associations, and corporations advocating for the full spectrum of solar power installation and storage.

The Disaster Resilience Learning Network (DRLN) is a collaborative network of more than 30 community organizations in Oregon, who build resilient communities of color by ensuring equitable access to disaster preparedness resources. Working with network leaders, Scrubjay designed the logo and bootstrapped the network’s website. We provide content strategy and content support to help grow the network’s capacities, as well as maintain and extend their website.

Scrubjay leads the design and development for this resource that helps Portland parents find free and reduced-cost preschools near them. Working with stakeholders from the program team and parent accountability groups, we helped choose the name, and designed the logo and brand. We crafted the user experience to be as simple as possible, beginning with just a location. We built the website with integrations into Mapbox for geolocation and mapping services.

Scrubjay led the visual and user experience design for MicroMentor, a global platform in five languages connecting small business entrepreneurs with mentors around the world. We spearheaded a full redesign and redevelopment of the platform, dovetailing with an organizational strategy to bring the product in-house from an external vendor.

TolaData is Mercy Corp’s homegrown results monitoring platform. It is a complex product that tracks progress against key indicators and produces reports in multiple technical formats. Working closely an in-house software team, we cleaned up the visual design and re-architected its front-end, paving the way for a highly interactive experience using React. Paul is the ongoing technical lead and architect for the project.

Fat Pencil Studio is a small collection of brilliant visual storytellers. Their challenge is to describe to potential clients how they can use architectural and data visualizations in court (and elsewhere). We worked together to develop a deep content strategy, and then paired it with a compelling visual design and custom Django/Wagtail backend to produce this sharp website. Geek note: we migrated seven years of content from a Wordpress site with complex custom migrations!

Miradi is a complex conservation-management software platform developed by our longtime clients and collaborators Sitka Technology. Miradi Share is Miradi’s online tool for sharing conservation projects. We architected and designed geospatial visualization tools for Miradi (both desktop and online), and then we designed Miradi’s online footprint at Miradishare.org. With Sitka Technology

Redesigned and streamlined build using Eleventy. Based on designs & user experience by Stagecoach Digital.

Sparkly new, ground-up Drupal 8 website for a fantastic Portland-area nonprofit program. Design by Lenore Ooyevaar.

Although we prefer to work iteratively from protoypes, a smooth boxes-and-arrows user experience design project like this can yield excellent results. Saturday Academy needed to bring their PDFs-and-printouts class catalog online for a major user experience overhaul. With OMBU; visual design by Jansen Creative.

We design and build a lot of donation forms. Our secret superpower is coaxing excellent donation experiences from third-party vendors, who often lock down all the cool stuff a donation form should do. With Stagecoach Digital.

Unusual for a government body, Oregon Metro is filling a void for local, townhall-style reporting. Their nature news has always been popular, and they’ve been adding original reportage for land use, transportation, and waste management issues. We strategized, architected, and designed a full user experience to leverage this unique and valuable asset. We’re especially proud of the rich long-form potential as evidenced in pieces like “You are here: A snapshot of Portland-area housing costs.” With OMBU.
