> UX Designer | Accessibility Specialist

Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/aidankaufman

I’m a UX Designer with 6 years of experience specializing in accessible, scalable, and system-driven design. I’ve worked across startup, agency, and enterprise environments, most recently leading accessibility and design documentation efforts for Xerox’s highest-revenue products.

My strength lies at the intersection of user experience, accessibility compliance, and clear technical communication. I take vague ideas and turn them into fully realized design systems, specs, and user-validated solutions. Whether I’m creating low-fidelity concepts, high-fidelity prototypes, or final developer-ready documentation, I ensure every decision aligns with WCAG standards, brand identity, and measurable project goals.

I collaborate closely with developers, product teams, and fellow designers to streamline workflows, refine processes, and deliver cohesive, user-centered products. I’m known for making complex requirements simple and translating accessibility into actionable, elegant designs.

Outline of my skills:
• Deep experience with WCAG and accessible design practices
• Extensive Axure and Figma documentation skills
• Mobile-first design methodology
• Agile design strategies
• Strong UX research and documentation skills
• Ability to operate from concept → prototype → final specs
• Experience optimizing design processes in large organizations
• Cross-functional collaboration with product, engineering, and leadership
• A background in game design and UX engineering that informs creative, systems-minded thinking

If you're looking for a designer who blends creativity with structure, accessibility with innovation, and thoughtful design with technical clarity, I’d love to connect.
