Why I do this work
I work in accessibility because I’ve seen what happens when people are excluded - often unintentionally - by design choices that assume everyone thinks, reads, remembers, or reacts in the same way.
Most teams don’t mean to create barriers.
They just don’t see them yet.
My role is to help make those barriers visible - calmly, clearly, and without judgement - so people can design better systems from the start.
My background
I’ve spent years working in learning design, training, and digital education - including with large, complex organisations.
I bring together:
-
lived experience
-
learning design expertise
-
plain-language thinking
-
and a strong belief that accessibility should be practical, not overwhelming
I’m especially focused on cognitive accessibility - because that’s where confusion, overload, and mistakes tend to show up first.
How I work
I assume good intent.
I don’t use jargon.
I don’t shame people for what they didn’t know before.
I believe:
-
clarity builds confidence
-
empathy drives better decisions
-
and accessibility works best when it feels achievable
That’s why Accessible Me is built around small, safe steps - not big, intimidating programmes.
