Summary
Jamila Evilsizor is an Accessibility Specialist with 10 years of experience designing human-centered digital and analog experiences that bridge technology and everyday work. She combines qualitative and quantitative research—ethnography, contextual inquiry, analytics and usability testing—to validate designs and inform product roadmaps across enterprises, nonprofits and startups. At Sam’s Club she led company-wide accessibility research programs, training hundreds of associates, building research repositories, automated consent flows, and user panels to make retail experiences inclusive for shoppers with disabilities. Her background as a developer and project lead (C#, Java, SAP, voice design) gives her a rare fluency in both technical constraints and user empathy, enabling pragmatic internal tooling and workflow improvements. Passionate about digital literacy, she also designs and teaches curricula for low-literacy learners, turning research insights into accessible education and actionable product changes. Based in Bedford, Texas, she now applies this blended research-engineering perspective to accessibility work in healthcare at UT Southwestern.
