Lee Essner is a UX Lead Designer and Principal Consultant, Accessibility, at World Wide Technology. Based in St. Louis, MO, Essner received a BFA in graphic design from Maryville University, where he also played baseball, earning First Team All-Conference honors. Beginning his career working in advertising for clients such as Anheuser-Busch, Coca-Cola, and Enterprise, Essner shifted to product design in 2014 by joining Asynchrony (now World Wide Technology). At WWT, Essner developed a passion for inclusive design, advocating for the implementation of accessibility considerations in product design across the company, and taking steps to codify best practices. This culminated in several presentations to senior leaders and eventually receiving the first official job title related to accessibility at the company in 2019.
