The District Wharf
WEBSITE & iOS/Android App
Launched in 2017 and still in use today, the fully responsive web experience was built to support the grand opening of the $3.6 billion mixed-use neighborhood that established Washington, D.C., as a waterfront city.
Project Goal
Establish Washington D.C. as a Premier Waterfront Destination
As the Interactive Creative Director at HZDG, I spearheaded the UX/UI and visual design for the District Wharf website – a pivotal piece in launching Washington D.C.'s iconic $3.6 billion mixed-use neighborhood.

UX Deliverables
In shaping The Wharf’s digital landscape, our UX deliverables formed a cohesive framework designed for intuitive navigation and engagement. By integrating a detailed Sitemap and a logical Information Architecture, we ensured that users found what they needed with ease, enhancing their journey across the platform. Wireframes laid the groundwork, mapping out the user interface with a focus on usability and efficiency, while Prototypes allowed us to iteratively refine the experience, ensuring that the final design was not only functional but also inviting, facilitating a deeper connection with The Wharf’s offerings.
Component-Driven Design
Drawing on my expertise in component-driven design, I directed the creation of a WCAG-compliant UI system. This foundation allowed for the rapid development and launch of the iOS/Android visitor app, enabling us to expand our digital footprint while ensuring a uniform user experience across platforms. This scalable system was crucial for efficiently moving the project from Phase 1 to Phase 2, demonstrating our commitment to accessibility and seamless integration.
