Max Design

I’m an Accessibility Specialist and Design System Manager with over 30 years of experience across design, front-end development, accessibility, and training.

I’ve worked with major organisations in the banking and insurance sectors, helping to build, test, and scale accessible design systems and digital experiences that meet WCAG and usability standards. My expertise spans accessibility strategy and governance, inclusive design research, and organisational accessibility maturity.

I have extensive experience working with people with disabilities through focus groups, interviews, and user testing — ensuring that accessibility is grounded in lived experience rather than checklists.

At a strategic level, I help organisations embed accessibility at scale, develop sustainable design system frameworks, and create learning programs that build capability across roles and teams.

Core focus areas:

  1. Accessibility leadership: Accessibility strategy, governance, compliance, testing, and organisational maturity.
  2. Accessibility education and capability development: Planning and leading organisation-wide learning strategies, including course design, scripting, production, and evaluation.
  3. Design system development: Strategy, architecture, accessibility integration, and front-end implementation.
  4. UX/UI design: Inclusive research, user testing, and design of meaningful digital experiences for all users.
