Privacy as Protection
The people you serve trust you with sensitive information. I design systems that minimize what you collect, protect what you store, and keep your community safe.
Nonprofit website design & digital strategy
Ethical, inclusive design for organizations people rely on.
Your community relies on you for resources, guidance, and support—and your website is often their first point of contact. I partner with community and human rights organizations to create websites that reflect their values and meet their community where they are.
Tell me about your organizationDigital presence built with integrity.
Your online presence should reflect your organization’s values.
Your website is the front door to your organization online. As such, it should be as warm and inviting to your community as your physical space is. In practice, that means creating transparent, private digital services that are easy to understand. Whether you provide reproductive healthcare, LGBTQ+ support, or community resources, your digital presence becomes a safe, reliable bridge to the people who need you most.
Accessibility as Inclusion
If someone can’t use your site, they can’t access your services. I build to WCAG 2.2 standards so your tools work for everyone—regardless of ability, device, or connection speed.
Usability as Equity
When someone comes to you in a moment of need, a confusing website is a barrier to access. Clear, intuitive design means the people who need you most can find what they need without friction.
A roadmap for digital integrity.
Most organizations collect more data than they need and overlook invisible barriers to access. Drawing on two decades of design experience, the Digital Integrity & Safety Audit offers clear, structured guidance on protecting your community’s privacy. It’s a self-assessment designed to ensure your digital presence becomes a tool your community trusts.

Design, used ethically, has the power to change the world—and I’ve built my practice to prove it.
I’m Kristi-Lynn, founder of Diatyposis and adjunct professor at the University of Connecticut. I bring two decades of senior UX and digital product experience to human rights and community organizations that need it most—helping them build digital spaces that are inclusive, secure, and as thoughtful as the work they do.
