Conducted accessibility research & testing on digital products, studying how design decisions impact usability for people with disabilities.

Overview

Digital accessibility has always been something I've cared about since high school, so joining the Disabilities & Computing Program at UCLA was a no-brainer. It started with intensive remediation training and testing 50+ bathrooms on campus for ADA compliance. My most recent work focused on manually testing vendor websites against WCAG 2.2 standards across desktop and VoiceOver mobile navigation.

A few passion projects from my time here:

Disability Bias in Generative AI

Dawn Cafe

This role has deepened my belief that the best products work for everyone, and keeps me thinking about how to build with the intension of making design truly inclusive.
