A usability, accessibility, and UX research initiative building the workforce America needs — one engagement at a time.
UXForce deploys supervised student teams to conduct user experience research, usability evaluations, and digital accessibility audits for under-resourced public-serving institutions — building a skilled UX and accessibility workforce while delivering the human-centered design expertise that public institutions urgently need.
Our vision: A United States where every public-serving digital system is accessible, usable, and equitable for all Americans — and where the professional pipeline to sustain that standard is permanently established.
Institutions + Students + The Field
Technology serves people. Design decisions are informed by the lived experiences of the users who depend on these systems.
Every American deserves equal access to public digital services, regardless of ability. Accessibility is not an afterthought — it is integral to good UX.
All work is grounded in rigorous, established methodologies — not assumptions or aesthetic preferences.
UXForce contributes to the advancement of the UX field by generating original research and investigating how emerging technologies reshape human-digital interaction.
The best way to train UX and accessibility professionals is through supervised, real-world practice with real institutions and real users.
Frameworks, tools, and methods are shared freely so any institution can adopt the model and serve their own community.
Open-source toolkit
Every framework, template, and guide UXForce develops is freely available for adoption by any university or organization. Our impact isn't limited to one founder or one institution.
Any university with an HCI, UX, or web development program can adopt the UXForce model and begin serving institutions in their own region — creating a distributed national network.
Whether you represent an institution in need or a student ready to make an impact — we want to hear from you.
