Hi there! 👋🏻

I'm Courtney Sizemore, a passionate designer who thrives on turning chaos into clarity. I specialize in creating intuitive, accessible designs that delight users. I love collaborating with teams to chart a path to success and deliver results that truly make an impact. Recently, I've been diving into web accessibility and enjoy both learning and sharing what I know. Outside of design, I enjoy photography and interior design rendering.

I work closely with key groups, including research, business teams, and stakeholders, to deliver impactful work and ensure it's effectively socialized across the organization. My design process focuses on creating detailed UI designs with accessibility at the forefront and collaborating with engineers to bring those designs to life. I partner with UX researchers to develop research plans, conduct stakeholder and user interviews, and lead usability testing for assigned projects. I also facilitate workshops and ideation sessions to generate ideas and solve complex design challenges, translating research insights into innovative new products and features. Throughout the process, I design workflows and create detailed interactive prototypes to clearly communicate ideas to stakeholders from concept to launch.
