Portrait of Nathan Tingey

Nathan Tingey

Student of Information Technology | Tech Enthusiast

An interest in technology led me to User Experience Design. After starting in and creating the role of Accessibility Specialist at BYU Continuing Education, I realized the power of great design and its impact on our lives. This realization perfectly reflects my lifelong interest in excellent products and the design elements that set them apart from their competition. Soon afterward, I switched my major from Computer Engineering to Information Technology with a personal emphasis on Human-Computer Interactions. This change has allowed me to continue developing a skill set I’d already built and use that skill set to ensure the success of each of the projects I’ve worked on.

Building Digital Accessibility Tools

At BYU Continuing Education and Independent Study, I compared WCAG 2.0 and other accessibility guidelines against current standards at BYU. I learned the ins and out of Digital Accessibility and how it applies specifically to BYU. With this knowledge, I audited courses and websites, helped train employees who were writing digital content, and began to automated repetitive checks for efficiency.


More information regarding automated reports can be found at the BYU CE Accessibility Panel instruction page.

What 2 Do

During university classes, I have done many projects requiring knowledge on usability and design. Although I do not believe this to be my most visually pleasing concept, I was truly able to follow Norman’s iterative circle of design (Observation → Idea Generation → Prototyping → Testing). I learned that following a good process can save time, money and resources. By following a proven process, a team’s efforts are magnified.


Autoliv - Local IT

Being a member of a local IT at Autoliv is more than fixing a computer and fulfilling a ticket. It is about being the face of IT. Most of the time, a user doesn’t know the specifics of the technology running the business. Honestly, they shouldn’t have to know. As local IT, I prioritize my time, solving problems ranging from helping someone with their email to configuring 1,000+ devices to global IP standards. I was given the opportunity to "wear a variety of hats" in order to keep business within the company moving smoothly.
