Hello! I’m curious about everything and always working on a creative project. When I’m not working at my day job, I might be….
- Knitting and sewing my own clothes, particularly with pockets.
- Playing cozy videogames like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing.
- Cooking and baking for my family and friends.
- Expanding my horizons as a speaker and mentor.
- Finding ways to leave the world a little better than I found it.
Background
- 8+ years accessibility (a11y) and 6+ years Android and iOS UX experience
- Deep knowledge of mobile assistive technologies and expected behaviors, balanced with understanding that there’s no replacement for user research
- Approachable, empathetic collaborator with design, development, and product partners
- Infectiously enthusiastic about coaching people to their personal “Aha!” moment where they become a11y advocates
- Adaptive learner who identifies opportunities and acquires skills to fill gaps
Organizations I’ve worked with
