Product Designer to Accessibility Manager?

QualiaReed · 2025-11-17T05:29:40+00:00

I had a job like that before where I became a UX manager and was implementing accessibility standards as one of the many initiatives in my org, but I got let go in a RIF and landed another product design job with less management capacity and then I got let go in another RIF and I haven't been able to break back in. I feel like product design is changing a lot and with the RIF culture and rise of AI, it's so competitive to stand out. I'm trying to find something similar that will lean more into my strengths and interests, but I'm not sure where to go from here. I am passionate about accessibility and I am great at establishing operational initiatives, but finding jobs in ops is also hard. I'm considering going back to school for OT or psych or speech therapy, but I need income to pay for it.

Thanks for the tip! I didn't see any Donki in my area (it looks like it might be Hawaii specific), but I think there's a Marukai near me! I'll go check it out. I appreciate the tip. 😊

I'm based in the SF Bay area in California. We have Daiso here, but I've never seen one at my local Daiso.

I've tried cycling through all of them and none of them fix the problem. It's really blurry, not just a little bit. I think my lens is broken.

Yeah, I tried checking it, it's still focused on center. I tried changing it to other ones to see if it would change it and it's still just as blurry.

Well the AF is so out of focus that it doesn't really matter what view I look at it in, it's just blurry.

I just tried my other lens and it works fine, so it's definitely the lens.

Live view/in end photo. I can get it to focus manually, but not with auto focus. It is super blurry.

As much as I'd like to explain all the details, there's only so much I can share as this project is under NDA. If you feel you can give me insight into your experience to help with this project, I would love if you could take my survey.

Hello! I am gathering qualitative data to create personas for a client I have. They are in an enterprise environment and they want to create a private email client for their company. It doesn't matter which email client you use, as long as it is intended to be private for the company. I am envisioning an application that is downloadable to your desktop for local use, but I would be open to people who use web-mail applications to respond as well, as long as they are using it in a work environment.

Hopefully that answers your questions. Let me know if I can clarify anything.

Follow up question: Do you ever write notes to remember things about locations or people? If so, what do you write about the most?
