Uniquely Human Designs

Ridding the world of bad design, one pixel at a time.

The dilemma of design.

What would the world look like if we put as much care and intention into designing for all users, of all backgrounds and abilities, as we do for ourselves? Inclusive design, at its core, is basic usability.

Hi! I’m Kimmy.

With over 15 years of experience in UX and UI, I have a deep passion for leading design teams with a focus on delightful, inclusive, sophisticated experiences.

Focus Areas

  • Whether optimizing for screen readers or keyboard access, when we apply WCAG as the baseline and overlay with user experience best practices, we can achieve experiences that invite everyone to participate.

  • Building frameworks for how we apply design standards is key to expanding our design processes and patterns. Whether personalization or inclusive design, design strategy is critical before we design a pixel.

  • How we show up for those around us matters. How we help those we work with grow and expand their careers comes with intention and practice. Deliberate mentorship and coaching is part of our responsibility as design leaders.

  • Who is your user? How do you avoid the like me bias? Is it clear what you are asking your user to do and is it obvious to them how your experience supports their goals? UX is more than personas, it is more than affordance, it is the intersection of usability and usefulness.


As leaders, we have a real impact in our team’s day-to-day lives. By embracing this responsibility, we can create an environment where people thrive in a balance of creativity and challenge.
