Airbnb co-founder and Department of Government Efficiency associate Joe Gebbia announced that he had been selected as the government’s first chief design officer on Saturday, charged with implementing Trump’s “America by Design” initiative set in motion via executive order last week.

“My directive is to update today’s government services to be as satisfying to use as the Apple Store: beautifully designed, great user experience, run on modern software,” he said on X. “An experience that projects a level of excellence for our nation, and makes life less complicated for everyday Americans.”

Gebbia, a former Democratic donor, joined DOGE in February and has been working on modernizing federal retirement processes at the Office of Personnel Management, an effort that predates Trump 2.0.

Now, Gebbia will report to the White House chief of staff as he coordinates across agencies, implements solutions and recruits talent — an imperative that comes after the administration has shed and laid off many of the government’s top design and tech talent. The order directs improvements to physical and digital government spaces.
