Hello and welcome!

I am Martha Wilkes and I’m a designer and accessibility strategist at the Department of Veterans Affairs in the Office of the CTO. Previously, I served a 4-year term at the US Digital Service, a tech startup at the White House. Here’s a blog post where I talk about Why I Serve.

Before joining USDS, I spent my career designing enterprise software in various private industries, from banking to statistical analysis to home health care.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in music engineering from the University of Miami and a MFA in theater design from the University of Georgia, where I learned the Photoshop skills that helped me get my first job as a web designer. In my spare time, I sometimes make glass beads in my home studio in Chapel Hill, NC.
