Accessibility Designer
Accessibility designer crafting and evaluating accessible experiences.
I combine human-centered, multisensory, and co-design methods to remove access barriers through product design, design systems, UX research, design reviews and audits, upskilling design orgs, design strategy and innovation, and community engagement.
My work is informed by my accessibility design research at NYU and IAAP CPACC certification.
