Accessibility is the brief, not a footnote.

04 - About

How I work

I like messy discovery work, careful systems thinking, and design decisions that can be explained without hiding behind jargon.

01

Map the system and constraints.

02

Use research and accessibility checks to find friction.

03

Prototype, test, refine, and document what changed.
