2025-2026
Legislative Bill Tracker (Utah)
Our Role: Principal Designer
Philanthropic Pillar: Social Justice
Site (Proof-of-Concept): https://utah44.com/2025-bill-tracker/
The legislative bill tracker is a cloud-based application designed to filter legislation in a proposed year based on keywords, topics and bill numbers. The application creates a table that can be updated in real-time by named members to state position, track action, and communicate a public platform. The bill tracker can be utilized by different charitable groups to more effectively monitor legislative bills that are within topic and impactful to their communities.
The bill tracker is currently in proof-of-concept that will be run in parallel to tools in use for the 2026 General Session.

The People’s Care Center
Role: Seeking Sites, Seeking Funds
Philanthropic Pillar: Address Homelessness
Site: N/A
In response to the recently announced https://homelesscampus.utah.gov/, a better solution must be found. Integrated community support is integral, and there are two branches for which to build. One is outreach, and the other is housing. We attempt to address the first. The locale for a care center needs to be proximate to hospitals and public transit. The services provided are a foundation of empathetic outreach to the most vulnerable in our community.
