Enter the TMA communityA way of working
Begin with access. Stay with complexity.
The most generative questions rarely belong to one discipline. I bring research, design, teaching, and community knowledge into conversation—then make the ideas tangible enough to test together.
- 01
Access is a creative practice, not a compliance afterthought.
- 02
Lived experience is expertise.
- 03
Technology should expand agency, not prescribe it.
- 04
The process of making matters as much as the outcome.
About Abigale
I’m curious about what becomes possible when access leads.
Researcher
I’m a design researcher specializing in the development of systems that promote inclusive design practices and enhance the accessibility of products and information. My expertise spans human-centered design, human–computer interaction, accessibility, and sensory AI. My interdisciplinary research draws on universal design principles and prioritizes disability-first innovation.
Consultant
Through Saga.Industries, I help think tanks, businesses, and public-interest organizations turn complex questions about accessibility, responsible AI, and participation into grounded strategy. I connect research evidence, lived expertise, and organizational realities to shape decisions, products, and systems that people can use and trust.
