U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday (August 21, 2025) signed an executive order to establish a National Design Studio and create the role of a chief design officer to help improve the "usability and aesthetics" of Federal digital and physical services.
The studio will advise agencies on how to reduce duplicative design costs and use standardised design on sites where people interact with the government, according to the order.
"There is a high financial cost to maintaining legacy systems, to say nothing of the cost in time lost by the American public trying to navigate them. It is time to fill the digital potholes across our Nation," Mr. Trump said in the order.
The order did not name the chief design officer.
