Hello, I'm Stéphanie.
I'm a Product Designer, problem-solver & accessibility advocate.
I develop design solutions that meet business goals and user needs by combining product strategy, user research, and creative thinking.
I currently collaborate with a startup in the publishing industry, where I have the rare opportunity to combine my passion for digital and literature.
To help designers grow accessible design solutions, I share hand-curated resources on AY11-Toolbox. I currenlty live in Seattle, WA and I am a Door Hunter in my spare time.
Expertise
I have 15 years of experience delivering successful B2B projects for a wide breadth of industries, oftentimes from the ground up to the final products. I have a passion for creating experiences that will improve users' lives and approach every problematic with an open and curious mind. I specialize in:
UX Research
I perform competitive analysis, audits, and usability testings to empathize with users, analyze paint points and recommend design solutions that align with the business vision.
Product Design
I create consistent, clear and effective designs. I use iterative design based on qualitative and quantitave data to create or refine products.
Web Accessibility
I'll always advocate teams to take the extra time to delight all your users. Accessibility is not a bolt-on extra feature. Everyone needs, or will need, accommodation sometimes.
Case studies
Accessibility Audit
A case study about my experience of learning how to measure the accessibility of web components.

I'm always happy to discuss Design, hear about your next big idea, or just have a spirited debate about how The Good Place should have ended.
