About Julianna Rowsell

Julianna is a systems thinker and strategist working at the intersection of design, research, product, and policy. With over 20 years of experience spanning public service, the private sector, and product teams, she specializes in navigating complexity and bridging gaps between intention and impact.

Her work centers on building durable, inclusive frameworks—whether translating fragmented accessibility practices into shared infrastructure or transforming equity goals into actionable guidance. Julianna excels in the connective, often unnamed roles that make systems more humane, adaptive, and lasting.

She brings a deep commitment to sensemaking, embracing ambiguity to uncover what’s missing and make space for better questions. From accessibility strategy to harm reduction in AI, her work is grounded in care, curiosity, and the belief that access and thoughtful systems design can generate meaningful, long-term change.
