Geneva Royer, CPACC
Accessibility Specialist | UX Researcher
I help product teams find and fix accessibility barriers that block real users. As a CPACC-certified accessibility specialist with a background in front-end development and UX research, I conduct WCAG-compliant audits, run screen reader testing with JAWS and NVDA, and deliver code-level remediation guidance that engineering teams can ship immediately. My work on the Naomi-AI platform improved usability by 88.9% and increased response accuracy by 15.9%.
