I am a Queer Web worker and Tech Speaker designing design systems and making accessibility more accessible.
Every day, I lead the Castor Design System and its small team where we try to build a user-friendly and accessible library of UI components. Through my studio, conferences, workshops and podcasts, I help Web projects to be more accessible and inclusive with a focus on cognitive impairments, and collaboration between designers and engineers.
