Video Producer | Digital Accessibility Specialist | Section 508 & UX/HCD Design

Welcome!

I’m a Video Producer, Senior Digital Accessibility & Remediation Specialist and Lead UX Designer with 30+ years in IT & video production, including 25+ years designing and building web applications and 16 years focused on Section 508 and WCAG compliance for digital solutions. I’ve directed UX and accessibility efforts from planning to go-live for mission-critical web applications supporting organizations including the CDC, NIH, VA, eRA, Allstate Insurance Company, Lockheed Martin, and Leidos.

In addition to my work in digital strategy and compliance, I’ve produced (wrote, directed, edited) a wide range of corporate and promotional videos, training videos, e-learning courses, and interactive media for state, federal, and corporate clients. My work has helped organizations communicate more effectively with their audiences while maintaining strong accessibility and inclusivity standards.

I also served as Key Personnel and Human-Centered Design Lead on Leidos’ CDC DMAC proposal, with an estimated $1.7 billion ceiling, where I helped define UX governance and accessibility strategies. Beyond that, I regularly support teams and proposals with VPAT and ACR documentation, along with practical guidance on inclusive design and remediation.

Recently I have focused on using large language models (LLMs) and AI Agents to streamline design, speed up accessibility reviews, and help orchestrate complex workflows. My goal is to apply AI in ways that help people accomplish more, save time, and enhance their overall capabilities. I also create AI-generated content, including both images and video. I love creating compelling narratives that resonate with audiences and drive engagement, and AI is the next step in producing amazing content affordably.

I hold certifications in Google UX Design, DHS Section 508 Trusted Tester, ITIL 4 Foundation in Service Management, Scrum Master and I am an FAA Part 107 licensed remote pilot. In 2022, I produced and directed History Roads, a 30-minute pilot featuring Ellijay, Georgia—an amazing town tucked in the North Georgia mountains. The film highlights local landmarks, traditions, and the stories that make Ellijay unique, from its apple orchards to its place in regional history.

AI & Human-Centered Design (HCD) for Government Agencies Guide

I recently wrote AI & Human-Centered Design (HCD) for Government Agencies , a practical guide built on decades of work with state and federal agencies and Fortune 500 companies. It is designed to help teams integrate AI and HCD into real projects so digital services are user-centered, accessible, and effective from day one.

The guide covers core HCD processes, Section 508 and ADA considerations, and practical ChatGPT/AI techniques, including creative prompt strategies for quickly generating HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for mockups and working prototypes. It also includes a sample style guide focused on UI, UX, and HCD best practices for typography, color, and components, giving teams a head start on designing modern, intuitive, and compliant government web applications.
