Maigen Thomas

Founder, Level 11 Technology | Accessibility & UX Design Consultant | Author of Practical UX

Maigen Thomas is an accessibility-first UX leader, educator, and the founder of Level 11 Technology, an apprenticeship agency redefining how early-career designers gain meaningful experience. With over a decade of experience in enterprise software design, product development, and UX education, Maigen helps organizations improve usability and compliance while tapping into the $1T spending power of the global disability community.


She specializes in digital accessibility for small- to mid-sized organizations, helping them reduce legal risk, expand their customer base, and build inclusive digital experiences—not just because it's required, but because it’s good business.


Before launching Level 11, Maigen was a Senior UX Designer in HR tech and led multiple UX/UI bootcamps at UC Berkeley Extension. She’s also the author of Practical UX, a hands-on guide to designing effective and accessible digital products.


Maigen is passionate about empowering early-career UX professionals with real-world accessibility skills through a unique “teaching hospital” model—where apprentices get paid to build inclusive websites from day one.


Whether she’s advising startups, mentoring designers, or speaking to executive leaders, Maigen brings clarity, advocacy, and action to every conversation around digital inclusion.
