Hello, I'm Nora

I'm a UX designer who works best a layer above the deliverable — in the research, the coalition-building, and the systems that keep working after I've moved on

Software Accessibility

When Lexmark's software accessibility practice didn't exist, I built it. From training and tooling to design system integration and governance, this is the story of turning a decade of compliance debt into a company-wide capability.

A bit about me.

My path here is genuinely strange: animation, biology, German, a near-detour into law school. What those fields share is a need to deconstruct complex systems and argue clearly for a specific outcome. That combination turned out to be surprisingly good preparation for UX.

For the past five years at Lexmark and Xerox, I've designed enterprise cloud products, built a design system used across the company's entire software portfolio, and stood up a software accessibility practice from nothing — earning a W3C certification, a seat on the ITIC council, and a Global Vision Champion Award along the way.

What I'm drawn to isn't the deliverable. It's the moment before it, when a problem is fuzzy, the stakes are real, and someone has to rally people around a direction. I tend to be that person. I'm at my best when I'm operating at the intersection of design craft and organizational influence: making things that are beautiful, rigorous, and built to last longer than my involvement in them.

I'm looking for work where design is taken seriously as a strategic function — ideally in a mission-driven environment where the people using the product actually need it to work.
