Hi! I'm Alexis.
I lead teams that design and build accessible websites.
I'm an award-winning full-stack lead web engineer and manager, published user experience designer, and Certified Professional in Web Accessibility, currently working remotely from Long Beach, California.
I believe people are more important than software, use they/them pronouns, and can usually be bribed with bubble tea. You may have heard of some of the websites I've worked on:
How do I do it?
It's pretty simple, actually. I put people and their needs first. Then I look for ways to use the finest in open source technology to meet those needs. Finally, I make sure it's done right.
As straightforward as it sounds, this has been the cornerstone of my process for sixteen years. I'm a huge believer in inclusive design, which advocates for actively involving people with a broad range of experiences in the design process. It's easy to make assumptions, but there's no substitute for doing your homework.
Every single success story I can share started with a conversation about who we were serving, and ended with working closely with others to do just that.
We've even won some awards along the way!
It's nice when people notice, but every one of these really was a team effort.
