Accessibility, ethics, and professionalism are extremely important to me, and having a designation that shows my stance on those topics is vital to communicating those things to clients, employers, and colleagues.
What is my most memorable RGD moment?
Being featured as a Provisional RGD in December of 2021 when I was going through a lot of self-doubt.
