UX Design Systems & Accessibility Leader

New York Metro Area

About

Collaborative leader specializing in scalable design systems, digital accessibility (WCAG, ADA), and inclusive design. Highly skilled in evolving design systems, embedding accessibility standards, and partnering with engineering teams to deliver consistent, user-centered experiences at scale. Known for systems-thinking mindset, strong facilitation / communication skills, and a pragmatic approach to cross-functional collaboration that drives team alignment, accelerates execution, and fosters confident decision-making. Today, I seek opportunities where I can continue to unite collaboration, systems thinking, and accessible design to build user-centered products that are inclusive by default and meaningful at scale.
