Jordan Kelly

Designer / Developer / Digital Builder

I design interfaces for CoursePlus, the homegrown learning management system at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. I work on new features, improve existing workflows, and build design systems. I enjoy making interfaces that look good and feel good to use. For me, that comes down to details like spacing that connects related elements and a visual hierarchy that guides attention. I also use transitions to make changes easy to follow. I turn those design decisions into reusable patterns so the product feels consistent from one feature to the next.

.edu specialist by day, design engineer by night.

Since 2018, I’ve helped universities improve their web experiences. I design and build accessible interfaces and reusable components for students and faculty.

Most of my professional work has been in higher education, designing for a broad range of people. The constraints can feel limiting, but they also create interesting problems to solve.

Outside of work, I’m a tinkerer. I’m usually optimistic about what I can accomplish with web technologies, both creatively and technically. This portfolio is a place for that experimentation. It shows the tools I work with and how I balance creativity with the user experience.
