About

Hi, I’m Lydia. It’s nice to meet you.

I’m a former Teacher of the Deaf turned UX designer. With my background in working with students with disabilities, I offer experience with accessibility, flexible communication, and creative problem solving. 

Currently, I’m creating digital solutions for nonprofit and government clients at an agency based in Arlington, VA. Previously, I designed solutions for local and national healthcare systems at a global agency in Baltimore, MD. Before that, I used my experiences working in both special education and the nonprofit sector to design accessible, intuitive experiences at a design agency in Philadelphia, PA, where almost all of my clients were nonprofits or higher education organizations.
