Design leadership and strategy for organizations working in sensitive human rights spaces.
I specialize in designing end-to-end digital services at the intersection of privacy, accessibility, and usability—ensuring your online presence is as ethical and inclusive as your mission.
Digital presence built with integrity.
I believe that digital experiences should be a reflection of an organization’s values.
My work is guided by diatyposis—a rhetorical principle of offering clear, structured guidance so people can make informed choices. In practice, that means designing tools that are transparent, private, and easy to understand. Whether you're providing reproductive healthcare, LGBTQ+ support, or community resources, your digital presence becomes a safe, reliable bridge to the people who need you most.
Privacy as Safety
Data collection in advocacy isn't just a compliance task, it’s a security risk. I design systems that prioritize data minimization and surveillance resistance, working to ensure that sensitive interactions remain private and out of reach from unauthorized discovery.
Accessibility as Inclusion
Barriers to information are barriers to justice. I ensure your tools meet WCAG 2.2 standards, making them fully accessible and operable for people with disabilities, those using assistive technology, or users on limited, older devices in low-bandwidth environments.
Usability as Clarity
In moments of crisis, every second and every click matters. I streamline complex service flows—from intake forms to resource maps—so that users under stress can find what they need intuitively and act quickly without leaving an unnecessary digital trail.
The Women’s Privacy Project
I talk the talk and walk the walk.
As the founder of the Women’s Privacy Project, I track the evolving landscape of data privacy and digital rights. I bring this deep-sector knowledge to every project, ensuring your organization’s digital tools aren't just functional—they’re a testament to your values.
Design practice rooted in advocacy.
My work is led by the simple belief that design, when used ethically, has the power to positively change the world.
I’m Kristi-Lynn, and I founded Diatyposis to bring a senior-level design lens to the organizations that need it most.
Bringing two decades of experience as a user experience and digital product designer, I partner with social justice organizations to create inclusive, secure digital spaces that are as easy to navigate as they are beautiful.
Let’s strengthen your mission together.
I am currently accepting new projects and partnerships with social justice and advocacy organizations. If you’re ready to prioritize digital safety and universal access in your work, I’d love to hear from you.
