Hello! I'm Lauren Trimble.

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent student from the University of Michigan's School of Information. I work at Deque as an accessibility consultant. My focus is User Research and building equitable information systems (specifically providing voters with clear, actionable information about their ballots).

I'm also web accessibility expert (IAAP certified CPACC) who gave product assessments and pre-production conformance advice (WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and Section 508) to clients and companies I worked for. My background is in customer experience and user-centered design with a smattering of trade publishing and creative writing.
