Maurice Griffin / Design engineer + UX front-end / Eugene, Oregon

I build polished websites, CMS systems, stores, and interfaces for teams with real constraints: complex products, legacy systems, tight timelines, and people who still need the thing to feel good.

01 / The through-line

Design taste, front-end craft, and enough puzzle-solving to get the hard parts shipped.

I'm Maurice Griffin, a Eugene-based design engineer and senior web developer. I'm strongest where design decisions have to survive real code: interaction states, responsive systems, animation, accessibility, WordPress and Shopify realities, and the messy handoff between idea and launch.

More of that work than you'd expect has carried real human stakes: health behavior-change tools, family mental-health and patient-facing apps, public-interest and education projects — the kind of thing where a confusing form or a clumsy interaction has an actual cost. The recurring job is the same: take something complex, constrained, or emotionally heavy and make it feel usable, clear, and a little more humane.

It's the same instinct behind stufftodo, a task app I'm building for people whose brains don't run on conventional productivity tools. Long career, lots of contexts, one through-line: figure out the hard part, then make it look easy.

Websites and CMS builds that hold up

Marketing sites, portfolio systems, WordPress builds, Shopify theme work, landing pages, and content experiences where structure, performance, accessibility, and responsive behavior all matter.

Product UI and commerce flows

Dashboards, custom tools, configurators, forms, carts, product templates, and design-system-minded components that turn dense workflows into interfaces people can actually get through.

03

Rescue, polish, and team support

Embedded senior help for teams that need someone fluent in design intent, client goals, inherited systems, browser constraints, launch pressure, and the last ten percent of polish.

  • Production
  • Polish
03 / Selected work

Public highlights, quiet launches, and the ones still under wraps.
