I design digital spaces where people feel seen, heard, and empowered.

I’m a Designer Leader, creative technologist, and accessibility advocate with 20+ years of experience designing inclusive platforms for global organizations, the public sector, and purpose-driven startups.

I specialize in turning complexity into clarity—whether I’m redesigning national weather platforms, building digital communities for CEOs, or helping organizations to comply with WCAG 2.2 AA.

But I’m not just a designer—I’m a builder. I’ve founded agencies, led design systems, translated human rituals into digital flows, and stood at the intersection of service design, strategy, and code.

Things I believe

Design is political

It either includes people or it leaves them out.

Good UX is invisible

But the intention behind it should never be.

Tools matter

But how we use them matters more.

Accessibility isn't a feature

It's the foundation.

Let’s work together

If you’re leading a complex platform, navigating scale or regulation, or embedding accessibility into your organization’s operations, I’m always open to thoughtful conversations and meaningful collaborations.
