The Non Dummies
Project Context
Gary Radtke, a U.S.-based economist, needed a blog-focused website where he could share insights on economics and leadership in a more engaging and effective way. His goal was to create a platform that reflected his personality while making it easy to publish articles, moving away from the traditional financial blog aesthetic toward a modern, dynamic, and engaging experience.
Blogs in this industry often feel rigid, cluttered, and unappealing to digital audiences. Gary needed a platform that conveyed credibility without sacrificing approachability, encouraging users to explore and consume content naturally.
Design and develop a modern blog that improves the reading experience, strengthens Gary's personal brand, and makes it easier to consistently publish content about economics and leadership.
We created a modern editorial experience rooted in UX, starting with user research, information architecture, and Figma prototyping, then developing the site in WordPress with an intuitive CMS that made content management and publishing simple.
Where economics meets leadership
The Non-Dummies brings together leadership and economics in a fresh, accessible way. The website showcases Gary's perspective through bold messaging, distinctive visuals, and engaging content that makes complex ideas easier to understand.
