AccessSpark
An accessibility audit platform I designed and built end to end. Product, UX, architecture, and the marketing site. It audits the live rendered DOM, reaches sites behind a login, and generates real VPAT reports.
I'm Mike Binder. I lead UX for enterprise B2B platforms, build accessibility into the foundation, and design AI features that fit how people actually work.
Data platforms, shop floors, and a product and design system I built myself. In each one I cut the overwhelm down to what people need.

The design system under AccessSpark and Inner Spark Media. One token source for CSS, MUI, shadcn/ui, and SwiftUI. Every build checks contrast at 7:1, that all four platforms match, and that every docs page passes an accessibility audit.
Cleaned up a cluttered sales-intelligence platform, made it accessible, and added AI only where it helped reps.
A stalled lead platform for brokers across four national brands. I got it unstuck and shipped it, built around speed and knowing who to call next.
Founding designer on an aerospace MES. I built the UX practice from zero and took a dense legacy client mobile-first onto the shop floor.
My background is enterprise B2B software. I've designed for aerospace engineers building rockets on a shop floor, sales teams working through massive datasets, and brokers managing high-volume leads. Same job every time: make the overwhelming thing easy for the person using it.
Accessibility is part of how I design from day one. At Dun & Bradstreet I built the accessibility working group from scratch, set WCAG standards across products, wrote VPATs for our top products, and cut accessibility issues 40%. To me it's the baseline for good design.
I like building things. I've built design teams and accessibility programs, and that same itch is why I built AccessSpark, my own audit platform. People tend to come to me when something is complicated and nobody is sure how to move forward. I like that.
Data platforms, manufacturing, real estate, and SaaS.

I'm a Senior Designer on the Design Systems team at Bumble. I also take on accessibility and UX consulting through Inner Spark Media.
