Design System

SonarUI

SonarUI is a design system built on the conviction that people with low vision and blindness deserve to be first-class citizens of every interface — not an afterthought, not a compliance checkbox. It covers typography, color tokens, a six-level surface hierarchy, spacing, and component patterns, all designed to work across light and dark modes and scale cleanly across breakpoints.

Every decision has a reason rooted in how vision actually degrades across conditions. WCAG is a floor here, not a destination. The system pushes toward the ceiling — and documents why.

Teaching

Course Materials

Micro-lectures, interactive exercises, and reference materials from the courses I teach in interaction design and user-centered design.

Play

Elroy's Wild Mad Libs

A pocket-sized game I built to poke at generative AI for something other than work. Every story is freshly written, and once you fill in the blanks, Gemini illustrates your ending.

Writing

When I'm Fired Up

I'll admit — I can be a bit tongue-in-cheek. I tend to write when something in the industry genuinely gets under my skin. Writing is how I think, and thinking is how I keep moving forward instead of getting stuck relitigating problems that deserve cleaner resolution. These articles are the output of that process.
