Design Tools: Advanced proficiency in Figma (including accessibility plugins, auto-layout, and design system governance) or the Adobe Creative Suite.

Assistive Technologies: Hands-on experience testing designs against assistive technologies such as screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver), screen magnifiers, and switch controls.

Technical Fluency: A strong understanding of semantic HTML, CSS, and how accessible design choices translate to front-end code.

Preferred Qualifications

IAAP (International Association of Accessibility Professionals) certification, such as WAS or CPACC.

Experience in heavy data-driven environments or complex workflow management systems.

Familiarity with tracking design and research workflows in project management tools like Workfront or Jira.
