Overture

A nationwide lawyer-to-lawyer referral network I helped start in 2022.

I designed the brand from scratch, translating early whiteboard sessions into high-fidelity mockups, then crafted the entire frontend with React. I've owned every new UI feature, bugfix, and UX improvement since 2022.

Alex Lopez, Backend Developer at Overture

A peer referral platform for small firms and solo attorneys

Overture lets attorneys refer work outside their practice to a network of vetted colleagues and collect a referral fee. An attorney posts a referral, chats with the colleagues who respond, picks one or more to take the case, and Overture handles the rest: a client introduction, status tracking so everyone knows who acts next, e-signed engagement agreements and invoicing that splits fees automatically.

It started in early 2022 as a few Figma screens our parent company’s CEO wanted to show investors. When interest took off, I became the founding designer: I built the brand and design system, turned our whiteboard sessions into mockups, then built the React frontend on top of our backend team’s Django APIs. At a bigger company those would be three jobs. Here they were one, which is the work I like best.

Inner Circle

Inner Circle is a coverage map I designed and built. As attorneys add colleagues to their network, the map lights up every state those colleagues practice in. The idea was to “gamify” referral coverage and give people a reason to connect with more attorneys.

We wanted attorneys to see at a glance where their network had coverage and, more importantly, where it didn’t. I designed a plain list of colleagues first, but it was hard to spot the gaps. A map makes them obvious: any unlit state is somewhere you can’t send a referral yet. The goal was to fill the whole map, so attorneys would have someone to send any referral to, anywhere in the country.

The concept was already dense, so instead of adding drill-down views, hovering a state shows every connection you have there. All the detail stays in one place without making the map harder to navigate. The animation was meant to make lighting up a new state feel like a small reward.

I built the SVG map as a custom React component, used Redux to keep it in sync as the network changes, wrote a tooltip that follows the cursor and fills in each state’s details, and timed the animations with homemade SCSS mixins. Below is a working demo, separated from the live app and running on mock data, alongside the code.

   Kept that here: the invite row sits above results for as long as

   separate feature, unrelated to search or the map).

   Added: ARIA combobox semantics and keyboard nav over the results list.

Source for the live demo above, plain JS like the production version. Real Redux there called real APIs; here a small hand-rolled store (redux/store.js) and mock data stand in for both.

Live AI suggestions for busy attorneys

We recently started surfacing more data on every referral to help attorneys decide whether to apply: whether it’s trending, whether it matches their practice areas, and whether the poster is engaging with responses.

The page was already dense, so rather than adding more numbers, I wanted to turn that data into one plain-language suggestion. My first version was a rules-based banner. It was accurate, but every attorney saw the same message. So I built this prototype, which reads the attorney’s profile along with the referral’s performance and tells them, in a sentence or two, whether it’s worth their time.

The demo calls Claude’s API and streams the response as it’s generated. It starts on a cached example; hit Regenerate for a live call, and pick a referral state to see how the message changes. If the endpoint fails, the banner falls back to a rules-based version.

From contact card to trust signals

When an attorney posts a referral, several colleagues respond, and the poster has to choose one, usually by reading each responder's profile. V1 shipped to meet our launch deadline and was little more than a contact card. Profiles looked alike, so people were choosing on very little information.

Over three rounds of design, I reworked the page around one question: can I trust this person with my client? Signals are ordered by strength. Common ground comes first, because a shared school, bar association or network is the strongest reason to trust someone. Client reviews from Avvo, Martindale and Google come next, then peer recommendations, which are fewer but carry real weight with other attorneys.

Later we made these profiles publicly available and indexed by search engines. Organic search clicks grew from about 50 a day to around 850, and the directory now brings in a steady flow of new signups on its own.

01A contact card

Name, location, practice areas, a statement, and a way to get in touch. It tells you who the attorney is. It doesn't help you decide anything.

02Common ground

Highlights compare you to the attorney: shared connections, schools, awards, and affiliations. A referral button joins messaging. The page now speaks to the person viewing it, but the actions are stuck at the bottom of a sidebar.

What improved in this round
  • New: shared-connections list
  • Referral button added, bottom of sidebar
03Trust, in order

Actions move under the name, and mutual connections move into the header. Highlights shrink to a compact card, which makes room for client reviews and peer recommendations.

What improved in this round
  • Actions moved under the name
  • Mutual connections moved into the header
  • New: client reviews and recommendations
ShippedIn production

Built in React from the third design. School and association logos replaced the generic icons, a verified badge replaced the online indicator, and Recommend became an outline button so messaging and referring stay the two main actions.

What improved in this round
  • Verified badge replaced the online indicator
  • School and association logos replaced generic icons

Names, photos, and details are placeholders.

Developing the look and feel

Before any of the frontend existed, Overture was a brand style guide: a type pairing, a deliberately restrained palette, and a logo mark built from a simple geometric lockup. Two motion studies below came out of that same design pass: the preloader, still running in production today, and a network globe that once ran on the marketing site's About page.

Grayscale carried the UI; color was reserved for meaning. Blue marked primary actions and links, orange was kept for upgrade and premium CTAs, and photography supplied everything else.

Brand to UI system

The same restraint became the interface: paper surfaces, black text, a hairline grey border, one muted grey for secondary text. Blue and orange were the only colors let in beyond that: blue for messaging, orange for the primary call to action, and a neutral grey outline for everything else.

Study 01The branded preloader

Study 02A network globe, once part of the marketing site

A motion aesthetic that ran on the About page for a while, hand-written with custom graphics, HTML, JS, and SCSS. It's no longer live, but this is a capture of it in motion.

Four years on one project

Owning one product for this long changes how I work. You stop shipping things you’ll regret, because you’re the one who has to maintain them. A referral network lives or dies on trust, so the frontend has to feel dependable first and clever second.

In hindsight, here are the biggest things I'd do differently:

  • Work close to the user, early. The profile page’s V1 shipped as little more than a contact card, because we hadn’t yet learned what actually makes an attorney trust someone with a referral. It took three more rounds, working closer with the people using it, to get there.
  • Build rougher things first and see if they get traction. The Inner Circle was a complex component to ship before knowing if users would use it. The finesse and craftsmanship best serve a working idea.
  • Build accessibility in from the start. Hover-only interactions and visual-first components were easy to ship and are harder to fix later. It’s the first thing I’d bake into the component library if I started over.

Let's talk.

I like working with teams that care as much about how something feels to use as how it's built. If that sounds like yours, let's talk.
