🔎 New job

Last month I moved house, so just to keep things spicy I decided was it was time for a new job too! As well as looking for work, I’ve been doing a fair bit of writing:

  1. Colour alone can be used to convey meaning, and I don’t like it!
  2. WWDC 2025 roundup
  3. Erring on the side of caution

From the archives

I tend to avoid talking about accessibility in terms of WCAG (the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) conformance. Accessibility is not a checklist; it’s about people. I’ve never met a user experience designer who stops at functional; it’s always about making things smooth, and even delightful, for the user. This should also be the case for disabled users, and WCAG is a good start but can encourage a culture of ‘just enough’.

Unsurprisingly, I’ve written about it how accessibility doesn’t stop at WCAG compliance.

While I’ve got you

After five years helping a large organisation (11k employees, 23 countries, countless products)transform its accessibility approach, things are in a good place; it’s time for me to move on and help others do the same.

I’m particularly good at driving cultural change, improving processes, coaching teams, and delivering training, as well as the more hands-on work of identifying accessibility issues and recommending fixes. I’ll be available for new contracts from late September.

If your company’s looking to strengthen its digital accessibility, I’d love to chat: drop me an email or say hi on LinkedIn!

Elsewhere on the web

Here are some of the more interesting bits and bobs that I came across from around the web during June:

Anyway, I’m off to give that CV some more polish! Exciting times! See you again in at the end of July 🚀
