Accessibility

I help teams design and build accessible, inclusive products through training, auditing, strategy, and hands-on support.

My background in user experience design and frontend development naturally led me to accessibility.

When designing and building a digital product, it must work for everyone, and that includes disabled people. Accessibility ensures that product teams consider a wide range of abilities and perspectives:

  • Designers, in how they handle visuals, content, components, patterns, and interaction flows
  • Developers, to make sure the HTML (and ARIA), CSS, and JavaScript work seamlessly with assistive technologies like keyboard navigation and screen readers
  • User researchers, who may need support when testing with disabled users
  • QA testers, to go beyond automated tools like axe DevTools and include manual testing with assistive tech
  • Product owners to support in the prioritisation of accessibility fixes
  • Product managers, to help shape accessible project priorities

But my work doesn’t stop at the hands-on product level. I also:

  • Run training sessions and workshops tailored to different disciplines
  • Give talks on accessibility, from broad overviews to deep-dives
  • Host drop-in ‘surgery’ sessions for questions, blockers, and advice
  • Audit products for accessibility issues and categorise them clearly for teams to action
  • Track progress on audit findings
  • Write design system documentation and accessibility guidance
  • Help shape accessibility strategy across products and organisations
