Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts

Widely popular with the public, the Where the Money Goes feature is mandated to appear in the footer of every Texas state agency website. However, it had become overloaded with information and challenging to navigate. I re-architected the feature into a modular, scannable format that’s visually appealing and significantly more user-friendly.
