Her Story
About Rebekah
With a background in Human Services and Psychology, my work has always centered on understanding people and removing barriers. After beginning my career in special education, I transitioned into UX design, where I’ve spent the past six years creating accessible, user-centered digital experiences. Accessibility is involved in everything I do, from my CPACC certification to my advocacy within the design community.

Ten minutes with Rebekah
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to a combination of perspective, adaptability, and a strong growth mindset. I’m able to step back and see the bigger picture, which helps me navigate change, receive feedback, and understand that business decisions aren’t personal, they’re part of building sustainable solutions. I actively seek feedback and use it as a tool for growth, believing that curiosity and flexibility are essential to long-term success. At the same time, I’m intentional about acknowledging the privilege that has supported my journey, including access to education and opportunity. Recognizing that privilege only strengthens my commitment to accessibility, equity, and using my position to help create more inclusive paths for others.
02What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Accessibility is my core value - in both my work and my life. I believe equitable access is a fundamental human need, not just a “nice to have,” and I am deeply motivated by breaking down barriers so people can have the same quality of experience. That commitment drives how I design, advocate, and lead. Loyalty is a close second. I value long-term relationships and investing my time and energy in organizations and communities where I can see meaningful impact grow over time. Together, these values shape how I show up as a designer, a teammate, and a leader.
