“I had the pleasure of working with Amir at Life Time on several initiatives, including enhancing app user onboarding experiences and Gen Z research. Amir was a trusted resource for me, always bringing thoughtful perspectives on research methodologies and consistently advocating for the value of user research in shaping our work. He has a collaborative and approachable style, making him both easy and enjoyable to work with. Any team would benefit from Amir’s expertise and collaborative spirit.”

Zachary Schweitzer, UXC
Our product design team is taking a cohort-based approach to accessibility upskilling through Deque University as we introduce WCAG 2.2 AA as our organizational standard for digital experiences. This initial primer course covered 10 categorical heuristics with practical questions for each to evaluate the accessibility of web experiences and was full of practical examples of the heuristics in action. Ultimately, this is about how ensuring accessibility improves the experience for all users in all conditions as those users seek to complete the digital tasks that drive businesses forward. #a11y #productdesign #accessibility #webaccessibility
