Summary
Doug Stringham is a seasoned UX leader and product designer with 11+ years shaping accessible, cross-platform experiences and over two decades of expertise in signed-language interpretation and Deaf studies. As Manager of UX Design at Sorenson Communications he scaled a once-singleton UX function into a mature team, guiding research-driven product decisions across embedded set-top systems, WebRTC, mobile, desktop, and TV endpoints. He combines ethnographic research and accessibility advocacy (#a11y ally) to solve complex interaction problems for Deaf and hard-of-hearing ASL users, informed by near-native ASL fluency and long experience as an instructor and interpreter. His background in instructional psychology and visual design enables clear communication of dense information and inclusive curriculum development. Known for pragmatic prototyping and thoughtful art direction, Doug also moonlights as a writer of 19th-century histories and teaches ASL at the university level, blending technical design leadership with deep cultural and linguistic expertise.
