Accessibility isn’t just a checklist—it’s a skill. I provide testing and training programs that empower developers, QA professionals, and executives to make accessibility an integral part of every creative process.
As an Accessibility and UX/UI expert, I blend the precision of automated testing with the insight of hands-on manual evaluation to deliver digital experiences that are WCAG-compliant, intuitive, and beautifully designed.
Beyond audits and remediation, I provide training programs for executives, developers, and quality assurance teams, empowering organizations to build accessibility into every stage of their workflow. From leadership strategy to front-end implementation, I help teams with accessibility that feels effortless.

What I Evaluate During Accessibility Testing
During accessibility testing, I carefully evaluate each project against the appropriate accessibility standards. I define the required WCAG conformance level, establish a clear testing schedule, and assess accessibility through both manual reviews and automated testing tools.
My process ensures that all key areas of accessibility are verified with accuracy, consistency, and attention to real-world usability.

Cognitive & Usability Factors
Accessibility should never constrain creativity—it should enhance performance and usability. My training programs help organizations embed accessibility into design, development, and quality assurance from the start.
Making Accessibility Second Nature Through Training.
During accessibility training, I guide teams through the standards and principles that shape inclusive design. Participants learn how to apply the appropriate WCAG conformance levels, understand key accessibility concepts, and integrate accessibility into everyday workflows.
Our training emphasizes practical learning—combining real-world examples, collaborative exercises, and expert insights to build lasting accessibility awareness across design, development, and QA teams.

Latest Work
For the Canada Council for the Arts, I conducted a comprehensive accessibility enhancement initiative within their Salesforce-based funding portal. The project focused on aligning the platform with WCAG 2.1 AA standards to ensure equitable access for all users, including artists and administrators applying for and managing grant funding. I performed detailed manual accessibility testing using screen readers and keyboard navigation, supplemented by automated audits with Axe DevTools and WAVE, SiteImprove among others. Identified barriers—such as inconsistent ARIA roles, insufficient focus indicators, and inaccessible form validation—were remediated through collaboration with developers and UX designers. In addition, I worked with internal teams on accessible content creation and inclusive interface design, enabling the Council to maintain long-term accessibility compliance within their Salesforce environment.
