Howdy! I'm Gray Gunter.
I'm a UX/UI designer and front-end web developer with over 15 years of experience.
Based in Columbia, South Carolina, I have worked with private companies of all sizes and government agencies on projects large and small. I have worked on-site, remotely and traveling to clients. I enjoy designing and coding. When people ask me what I do for a living I usually reply, “…stuff on the internet.”

  • Redesigned Public Website
  • Enterprise Advanced Planning
  • Medicaid Enterprise Services
  • Accessibility Compliance

My role with SCDHHS marked my first time as a full-time government contractor (through DP Professionals) as well as working purely as a designer with zero programming responsibilities. I was responsible for developing user personas, workflows, wire friends and rapid prototyping clickable mockups. I created application concepts for internal use and public-facing products based on user requirements and scenarios.

Also I was asked to monitor brand standards for adherence to established style guides and generating new standards for user interaction across multiple products and platforms. Lastly I was tasked with reviewing any projects for use by the public for adherence to accessibility compliance law.
