Hi, I’m Ameya!
An architect turned UX designer from Toronto, passionate about accessibility and inclusivity in design. Throughout my career as an architect, I was a part of various projects where in accessibility was an afterthought. A mere checking of boxes to fulfill regulations and sign-offs.
Deeply dissatisfied with this approach, I decided to study UX design and gain a platform where in my skills and knowledge could be channelized to bring about a meaningful contribution in the dialogue of accessibility in design.
