Omar Khan
Mixed-methods UX researcher · PhD candidate · accessibility and human-AI
I design equitable digital tools with blind and low-vision communities across UX research, design research, product strategy, and academic collaboration.
Joining Infosys as a Design Research Intern for Summer 2026!
I'm conducting mixed-methods design research on last-mile delivery robots (LMDRs), bringing an industry-scale accessibility background to questions prior deployments have limited work on: how perceptible are these systems' signals and cues, who do they actually work for, and who do they leave behind?

View case studyHow I work
- I co-design with diverse stakeholders rather than designing for them.
- I prioritize accessibility from scoping through delivery, including non-visual interaction support.
- I combine rigorous methods with practical product recommendations teams can act on quickly.
- I collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver accessible products.
- I document trade-offs and reflect on what I would change in future iterations.
