About Rj Urquhart
Professional problem solver, creative thinker, and lifelong learner with a strong background in STEM and social sciences. Passionate about technology, community, and accessibility, I specialize in accessibility consulting and user experience (UX), with a particular focus on collaboration across design, development, and product teams. My work is driven by a deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), especially within the Neurodiversity (ND) movement. I excel at identifying and resolving accessibility challenges, improving inclusive design, and delivering WCAG 2.1-compliant, user-centric solutions. With a passion for strategic problem-solving and advocacy, I aim to foster a culture of inclusive digital experiences that prioritize accessibility at every stage. Whether consulting, collaborating, or educating, I’m dedicated to creating digital spaces that are both innovative and welcoming to all.
