Lydia designs services for Forum One’s clients that are functional, engaging, and accessible for their diverse audiences. In her role as a user experience designer, Lydia works on every project with the user in mind while completing work such as content modeling and wireframing. Before turning to UX, Lydia taught science and technology at the PA School for the Deaf in Philadelphia to elementary and middle school students. Lydia also brings UX experience from a couple of different agencies, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics and American Sign Language and a Master of Science in Deaf Education.
