🎉 👏 Congratulations to our entire team at MO for making the Inc. Magazine 5000 list (#689) for the 3rd year in a row—one of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our whole squad at MO (and the support of their families and friends).

Join us in welcoming Courtney Stubbert to MO! Courtney has over 25 years of experience in UX, strategy, and service design, and we are grateful he’s decided to join our team. Courtney worked across industries in the private sector before catching the civic tech bug in 2021. He is passionate about using design to make people’s lives better. In his own words, “reducing friction for people accessing government services is the most human-centered work one can do.” We are grateful to have Courtney's experience in leading top tier design teams to deliver meaningful solutions with our government partners and the people we serve. With his decades of experience in design and his success at the state and federal level, we are lucky to have Courtney as a part of our civic tech community. An artist, musician, and father of three, Courtney lives with his wife Kari in a hundred year old house in Eugene, OR. 

Happy 1st MOversary, Sophia Philip, MS and Kira Evsanaa! You've both been amazing contributors to the team. We look forward to seeing you both thrive in year 2!
