Hello, I'm Evelyn!
こんにちは, 岩田と申します。
I'm a bilingual Japanese-American UX Designer specializing in accessible, user-centric designs. My personal connection to accessibility stems from my own experience with dyslexia and my bi-cultural background, which provides me with a unique perspective on non-verbal visual cues and data visualization. As a UX designer, I use my voice to promote accessibility and inclusivity in design.
I believe incorporating accessibility leads to intuitive design solutions that benefit all users.

♿️ Accessibility
I moved to the US to receive educational support for my dyslexia. My strength in comprehending fast text-to-speech technology enables me to empathize and conduct user testing with voice-over and key board navigation users.
Where have I lived and traveled?
I was raised by an American father and a Japanese mother mostly in Tokyo, Japan. I was born in London and also spent a year each in New York and San Francisco. In 2015 I moved to California on my own.
I love traveling and have visited over 12+ countries ✈️ The orange dots represent the places I've traveled to.
