Hi, I’m Liz Lantz

I’m a designer, researcher, and accessibility specialist who is passionate about using human-centered design to improve government digital services. I currently work with the US Digital Service and the Department of Veterans Affairs to improve and expedite access to benefits.

Background and values

I’ve been solving problems for people 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.
