Designing for Accessibility & Inclusivity

I’m a UX Designer and Accessibility Advocate, with a CPACC Certification (Certified Professional in Core Competencies) from the IAAP (International Association of Accessibility Professionals).

I believe in making digital spaces that are welcoming, usable, and joyful for everyone. My work centers on disability justice, neurodivergent inclusion, and helping others understand WCAG Guidelines through my project, A11y Crumbs.

I am currently studying for my Web Accessibility Specialist certification through a scholarship at Deque University.

My mission? Access is not an add-on. It’s a human right.

I help teams build accessible products, from audits and inclusive user personas to ARIA guidance and design systems that support real people.
