Hi, I'm Josh.

01 / the day job

Designing and building at the University of Michigan Library

I design and build accessible digital experiences for the University of Michigan Library. My work focuses on creating user-friendly interfaces for the Library website's front-end, while contributing to initiatives across accessibility, analytics, and digital projects.

02 / access for all

Leading accessibility initiatives in higher education

I've worked with administration to create digital accessibility remediation plans in response to Department of Justice complaints. I also led university-wide accessibility initiatives, developing training for content editors, developers, and designers.
