I just spent a few months working as a product designer on the campaign of the President-Elect and Vice President-Elect, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. In normal times, I’m an associate design director at Instrument, a design firm, where I focus on product work from feature conception to final pixel alignment. I also freelance regularly with the ACLU.
The work below is woefully out of date. I've done a lot in the last four years, just not things that required a new portfolio! Find my updated experience on LinkedIn.
For now, the archives β a few barebones examples of my work from Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign (remember that?!) and Pocket below. Say hi β hi@maggiebignell.com

How can we communicate 40 years of hard work, public service, and successes? Worked with an engineer, product manager, and content team from initial conception to final pixel pushing. Received 1 million shuffles on day 1.
How can we explain a detailed policy? The first step: making sure I understood it myself. The second: making it personal, tangible, and attached to a dollar figure.
How can we enable supporters to share why they’re voting for Hillary? Four day turnaround, policy-based, and designed to be super simple to engineer (no names, only query params).
How can we create a resource that communicates all of the falsehoods? A product to make our candidate comfortable on the debate stage. Brought 1.4 million concurrent users to the homepage. Co-created with another UX designer.
How can we make Trump’s words feel more personal? This project ended up being a two-screen experience, inspired by Snapchat, that met our success criteria: connecting with over 2 million users in the first day who were not our established Hillary-fan audience.
