Maigen Thomas

I’m Maigen Thomas, Founder of Level 11 Technology, speaker, mentor, and the relentlessly positive nerd behind the Practical UX movement. I specialize in helping UX pros and digital teams build accessible, usable experiences. Not just to check a box, but to actually make things better for more people.

Over the past decade, I’ve taught 500+ designers, developers, and product folks how to find and fix accessibility issues with confidence, clarity, and real business impact.

Why learn from me?

• I have 10+ years in tech. I'm former front-end dev turned UX designer, then accessibility strategist
• I have led over 75 website audits for public agencies, healthcare orgs, SaaS products, and small businesses
• Speaker at ConveyUX 2025, Value UX 2025, and multiple UX podcasts and panels
• Author of Practical UX, a no-fluff guide to fixing real-world accessibility and usability problems
• Creator of the Level 1 Accessibility Certification, a rigorous, hands-on program that’s changing how UX professionals prove their skills
• Known for my mix of real talk, deep care, and making “boring” topics weirdly fun and wildly useful
