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.
My design strategy is to incorporate multiple communication modes to create products that feel most natural to people.
Let’s put Multimodal Design at the Forefront of Digital Technology—for Dyslexics and Beyond!
Multimodality taps into our natural human abilities that have been used for 300,000 years.

♿️ 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.
