With over 15 years of experience in web design and development across agencies, federal projects, and complex digital systems, Siren North creates human-first, reality-forward websites and digital tools for small and mid-sized organizations and companies. We also do love doing portfolio and broshure sites. We are based in Washington, D.C.
Clear structure for websites with complex ideas, layered services, or messy content. We help define the pages, pathways, priorities, and user flows before design begins.
A focused review of your website, app, or workflow to identify friction, confusing navigation, accessibility issues, and opportunities for cleaner user journeys.
Wireframes, mockups, responsive page designs, and prototypes for websites, dashboards, internal tools, and digital products that need to be usable and buildable.
Polished, responsive websites built with performance, maintainability, accessibility, and a strong visual presence in mind.

From planning through launch
↓
We define the goals, audience, content needs, and practical constraints before design work begins.
→
We create early layouts or wireframes so we can test structure before investing in polished design.
→
We refine the design through focused rounds of feedback, improving clarity, flow, and usability.
→
The approved design becomes a working site with clean structure and a responsive front-end.

We check the site across screens, browsers, links, forms, and content details before launch. We also review accessibility against Section 508 and ADA-informed best practices where applicable.
This client needed a full redesign of a large federal website serving multiple user groups. We used site analytics to help inform homepage content order, navigation priorities, and menu layout. Because the project involved several stakeholders with competing priorities, the design process required careful iteration, review, and coordination.
We went from a dated and unclear site to a modern interface. The users for this site were usually looking for pharmaceutical registration, permitting, conference information, and administration updates. Because of the breadth of the user base, the project required a broad approach to accessibility, content organization within existing technology constraints.
This was a large redesign project for the IES NAEP external website. Working within a strict style guide, we created wireframes, mockups, and interface designs for a complex federal education site with multiple content types and user needs.
Because the client required detailed design approval before implementation, the work included precise mockups for multiple breakpoints and device sizes. We supported both design and development, contributing to icon design, visual design, wireframing, ideation sessions, animation, and data visualization design.
This is a project timeline for the redesign of the DEA diversion site. Since we had a small team, we needed a development timeline where design and development could happen in parallel. We settled on having the bulk of the pages placed on the server by development while working with stakeholders on design. It was important to leave time for changes, and unforeseen technical delays, and scheduling conflicts.
