GovernWell was built to simplify governance from the ground up. Working iteratively with non-profit directors, we designed and prototyped a best-in-class governance platform tailored to the realities of board management in Canada. From secure document storage and board term tracking to AGM scheduling and compliance filings, every workflow was shaped around reducing administrative friction and creating operational clarity. Our work began with foundational research and messaging alongside founder Michael Gordon, then expanded into full product and brand design. The dashboard became the cornerstone of a scalable design system — establishing visual language, component architecture, and UX patterns that carried across the platform. The goal was clear: position GovernWell as an indispensable governance tool — affordable, intuitive, and purpose-built — helping charities move from scattered file systems and manual processes to a centralized, secure, and user-friendly solution. The result is a streamlined, scalable platform that improves engagement, simplifies compliance, and frees staff and board members to focus on what matters most: advancing their mission.
