White House Executive Order Launches National Design Studio Led by Joe Gebbia to Modernize 7,000+ Government Websites with Improved UX and Cost Efficiency

The White House has issued a landmark Executive Order establishing the National Design Studio, led by Joe Gebbia, to modernize and enhance the design of over 7,000 public-facing government websites. This initiative aims to deliver seamless functionality, world-class user experience and interface (UX/UI), and cost-efficient digital services to American taxpayers. The National Design Studio will advise federal agencies on reducing duplicative design costs, standardizing design elements to boost public trust, and improving the overall quality of government service experiences. This marks the first major design overhaul of government digital services in fifty years, reflecting a broader effort by the Trump administration to assemble top talent and implement a bold vision for modernizing government technology. The directive emphasizes creating government services that are as satisfying and well-designed as leading private sector experiences, such as those offered by the Apple Store, to project excellence and simplify citizens' interactions with federal services.
