Senior🎓
Top SchoolBarbara Denney is a Staff UX Designer with over a decade in UX and eight years focused on public-sector design systems, currently shaping the VA Design System to serve millions of veterans. She specializes in scalable, accessible component libraries and has led migrations from Sketch to Figma and React to Web Components to improve collaboration and maintainability. Barbara pairs rigorous WCAG 2.1 and Section 508 compliance with pragmatic documentation and governance, ensuring teams can implement consistent, themeable interfaces across large government brands. Her prior work unifying the Medicare and CMS design systems demonstrates a talent for cross-functional alignment and architecting systems that support multiple identities. Based in Colorado Springs, she blends hands-on front-end experience (HTML/CSS/JS) with systems thinking, and she often surfaces process improvements that speed development while raising accessibility standards. An early-career background in web development and military network administration gives her a rare mix of technical discipline and user-centered design empathy.
