Testimonials
"Alicia is an incredibly passionate and driven individual with a clear ability to help create customer experiences that are usable by everyone. I worked closely with her to create an internal accessibility and inclusion guild that became a driving force for crafting digital experiences that were more inclusive and accessible for our customers and employees. In the guild, Alicia started and lead countless enriching discussions about inclusivity in digital products. The impact of her work with the guild has built a more thoughtful and inclusive mindset across all teams within the department she worked–and beyond. Alicia also lent her vast knowledge of incorporating inclusive and accessible practices into agile teams to an internal design system. On this team she set the standard for how the design system team should think about creating new components that are designed for everyone. On a more personal note, I always admired Alicia’s dedication and passion with which she argued for her beliefs–for what’s right. She was confident and deliberate in the way she spoke, and her ability to speak to people in any role so that they would understand the benefit of what she was saying was truly remarkable. If you want someone with the ability to start positive change in your organization and have it persist, look no further."
