I am a Full-Stack Design Leader crafting inclusive, scalable experiences.
Strategic Design Leadership
I lead design organizations that deliver measurable business impact through user-centered design, accessibility-first practices, and cross-functional collaboration. With expertise spanning design systems, accessibility strategy, and full-stack execution, I build teams and processes that scale design excellence across enterprise organizations.
Currently serving as Interim Associate Director of Accessibility & UX at OneMain Financial, where I've established enterprise-wide accessibility programs, increased remediation velocity by 472%, and integrated inclusive design practices into our product development lifecycle.
Accessibility & UX Leadership
At OneMain Financial, I've led a “shift-left” accessibility strategy, improving our accessibility score across all of our digital assets, moved accessibility testing and remediation earlier in the product development lifecycle, and integrated automated processes in the CI/CD pipeline.
Over the past year I've also stepped into the interim Associate Director role, where I coach cross-functional teams and set the strategic roadmap for enterprise-wide accessibility.

Remediations
In 2025, I accelerated strategic accessibility and UX advancements, notably launching the impactful 2025 Summer Accessibility Awareness Campaign aligned with Global Accessibility Awareness Day. This comprehensive initiative featured tailored design and engineering challenges, a curated library of educational resources, live demonstrations of assistive technologies, and a high-impact accessibility demo in collaboration with Fable, illustrating real-world navigation by non-visual users.

I received a Shine-On Award for Leadership, recognizing my contributions to cross-functional collaboration, mentorship, and transparency in advancing inclusive design practices. I also launched the Accessibility Hub Slack channel, significantly boosting company-wide engagement and fostering an active dialogue around accessibility achievements, challenges, and professional growth opportunities.
Operationally, I provided pivotal UX guidance for Communications and Acquisitions, streamlined stakeholder processes through improved Figma file organization, and contributed directly to the OMF Design System with expertise in accessibility compliance and UX best practices. I partnered effectively with DevOps, implementing accessibility linting within automated CI/CD pipelines across multiple teams and driving improvements to Jira workflows for better accessibility issue tracking.

Since 2022,I've steadily improved this exhibit entry flow, simplifying payment options based on Entrant Status. In the first year, I focused on refining the JavaScript, adding functionality and validation for the curator. In 2023, I restructured the flow for greater intuitiveness by grouping personal info, entry details, and payments. In 2026, I transitioned it to Sveltekit / Supabase for further optimization and better data management. I will put togethjer a case study for this after we run the 2026 exhibit.You can view that mapping in Figma.
Carey developed a new online entry form system for our Society's annual international art exhibit. He continues to help us refine our system as our specifications change. His skills in programming have been invaluable and made our entry process much easier for the artists. It's been a great pleasure to work with him.

A tool I designed and built in Next.js that helps with auditing and scoring the accessibility of sites and applications. I use this almost daily. It uses markdown files to store the site data, so it doesn't require any type of database connection.

Every year I participate in the MSAI Summer Arts program where I teach a number of classes, such as Illustration and Graphic Design. I also make the yearly posters and brochures for the program.

I started an accessibility blog back in 2022 to work a bit on my creative writing and get up to speed on building things in Next.js. I've fallen off a bit on the writing but I learned a lot from the project, mainly how to pull articles in Markdown into a Next framework.
