Accessibility Expert at Volkswagen Financial Services

July 2024 - June 2025

  • Accessibility expert in the field of UI/UX design, WCAG testing, and consulting for the Accessibility Strengthening Act

Oskar Oldorf (project lead): "I had the pleasure of working with Patricia for over a year on a project focused on ensuring digital accessibility for the online presence of a company in the financial services sector. During that time, I got to know her as a dedicated, detail-oriented, and highly skilled colleague.

Patricia was responsible for independently conducting gap analyses and worked directly and efficiently with key stakeholders. Her role centered on assessing compliance with the BFSG and providing strategic guidance to editorial teams on creating accessible content.

What I particularly appreciated about Patricia was her ability to think beyond the status quo and bring fresh perspectives to the table. She combines strong subject matter expertise with a keen eye for detail and a structured, thorough approach. Her input often sparked valuable discussions and helped us move our work forward in meaningful ways.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Patricia—especially for roles where precision, strategic thinking, and a high standard of quality are essential."

About the technology

What a Design System is

A Design System is a shared set of design principles, interface components, content rules and implementation guidance. It connects product design with front-end code so teams can create consistent experiences without rebuilding common patterns. A mature system also defines how components behave across screen sizes, states and accessibility needs.

What it builds

Design Systems support websites, mobile apps, SaaS products, internal tools and multi-brand digital services. They help teams standardize navigation, forms, tables, feedback messages, typography and responsive layouts while leaving room for product-specific decisions.

  • Reusable component libraries for web and mobile
  • Accessible patterns for common user journeys
  • Tokens for color, spacing, type and motion
  • Documentation that supports design and delivery

Tools and ecosystem

Specialists commonly work with Figma, Storybook and token management workflows. The implementation may use React, Vue, Angular, Web Components or native mobile technologies, with CSS architecture, TypeScript and automated visual testing around it. Strong collaboration connects design files, coded components, documentation and release processes.

When companies need expertise

Companies bring in freelance specialists when product teams have inconsistent interfaces, duplicated components or a growing portfolio of products. Expertise is also useful when a new system must be planned, an existing library needs migration, or design and engineering teams need a clearer operating model.

  • Audit an existing component and pattern library
  • Define foundations, tokens and naming conventions
  • Build, test and document production-ready components
  • Establish contribution and governance processes

What strong specialists deliver

Strong professionals translate visual intent into robust, usable components. They understand interaction design, responsive behavior, semantic HTML, keyboard access and assistive technology. They can explain trade-offs, identify when a pattern should be shared, and measure adoption through practical product and team feedback.

Working with Munich teams

Design System work often spans product, brand, engineering and content teams, so clear communication matters as much as implementation skill. Freelancers can collaborate remotely with Munich-based teams or work on site when workshops, audits or alignment sessions benefit from direct contact. German or English may be needed depending on the organization and stakeholders.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Design System.

A Design System provides shared foundations, components, patterns and guidance for creating digital products. It helps teams deliver consistent interfaces across websites, apps and internal tools while reducing duplicated design and implementation work.

A Design System includes more than a coded component library. It can cover design principles, tokens, content guidance, accessibility rules, contribution processes and documentation, while the component library is the implemented part used in products.

A strong Design System specialist may work with Figma, Storybook, React, Vue, Angular, Web Components, TypeScript and automated testing. Useful adjacent skills include accessibility, UX research, responsive CSS, documentation, version control and stakeholder facilitation.

The right level depends on the scope, product maturity and number of teams involved. A focused component library can be handled by a specialist with strong implementation skills, while governance, migration and cross-product adoption require broader systems thinking and change management.

Yes, much of a Design System project can be delivered remotely through Figma, documentation tools, repositories and regular workshops. On-site sessions in Munich can still help with audits, roadmap decisions and alignment between design and engineering teams.

A Design System should reflect the company’s products, brand and delivery constraints. Existing foundations such as Material Design or Carbon Design System can accelerate work, but teams often need tailored components, tokens and governance rather than a full off-the-shelf solution.

Review shipped systems, not only polished screens or isolated components. Look for evidence of accessible behavior, clear documentation, maintainable code, useful tokens, consistent naming, testing practices and successful collaboration with product teams.

Ask about the current component inventory, target products, technical stack, design tools, accessibility expectations and decision ownership. A Design System engagement also needs a clear view of migration plans, contribution rules and how teams will adopt and maintain the system.
