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 colleaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver accessible products.
- I document trade-offs and reflect on what I would change in future iterations.
- Looking for Summer 2026 opportunities in UX research, design research, and product research!
