Accessible design
doesn’t need to be
boring
Modern design often relies on visual flair to stand out, at the cost of clarity. While exciting, this can become overwhelming for people.Clutter
Crowded layouts and unclear hierarchy make people work harder to find what matters.
Visual effects
Heavy motion, low contrast, and visual overload can make design uncomfortable for many people.
Design that relies on constant stimulation is tiring, causing fatigue and disengagement.
Excess noise
I care about how design affects people in real situations, when they’re tired, stressed, or simply trying to understand.
Busy layouts, heavy motion, and low contrast can make information harder to process, or engage with, especially for people with disabilities.
By using clear structure, considered typography, and thoughtful hierarchy, I aim to design in a way that ensures a comfortable experience.
