Hi, I’m Liz Lantz

I’m a designer, researcher, and accessibility specialist who is passionate about inclusivity, collaboration, and continuous learning. I currently work on VA.gov with Ad Hoc as Senior Designer and Accessibility Specialist. My team builds products that to make it easier for veterans to manage their personal information and VA benefits.

Background and values

I’ve been solving problems for users in both the private and public sector since 2011. My front-end development work on large e-commerce sites piqued my interest in UX. I started serving in the federal government as a hybrid UX designer and developer for 3 years before dedicating myself fully to design, research, and accessibility.

My LinkedIn profile has details about my skills and experience, and I’m happy to send a more detailed resume by request.

There are some core values that guide my approach to problem-solving:

Always put people first.
Build upon the knowledge of experts and practitioners who came before me.
Foster collaboration to build trust, alignment and understanding.
Empower others to do their best work.
