Art Director

Our mission at CivicPlus is to help make local government work better. Connecting people—connecting communities—is at the core of everything we do. Since 2001, we’ve been building custom websites for city and county governments in the United States, Canada and Australia. In recent years, our role has expanded to forming partnerships with local governments and their communities. We help improve communication, workflow process, and the citizen experience. Great things happen when citizens and local leaders work together—that is our passion, the focus of our work.
