Beginning in 2013, I designed and redesigned then-Representative Kyrsten Sinema’s campaign website multiple times. In 2017, Representative Sinema announced a Senate bid, and I worked a with a campaign strategy company to redesign her site for a statewide audience. This race was close and called a week after election day, but Kyrsten Sinema won an historic victory, becoming the first-ever woman to serve as U.S. senator from Arizona. And then: now-Senator Sinema pivoted from her more progressive roots to stand out as one of two Democratic senators blocking legislative action. She then switched her party affiliation to Independent and eventually announced she wouldn't seek reelection. Though the later events dampened the excitement of the initial win, I still think highly of the work itself and the importance of that initial victory.
