About me

Digital accessibility sits exactly at the intersection of people and technology for me.

After a childhood spent with computers, programming and building websites, studying IT was a natural step. I later went on to study Social Work as well. That combination still forms the foundation of my work today.

Accessibility requires technical expertise, but understanding people, organisations and processes is just as important. That’s where everything comes together.

From developer to strategic expert

have been working in the web domain for over 20 years, with a strong focus on digital accessibility for most of that time. I started out as a frontend developer and gradually moved into consultancy, training and strategic guidance.

Over the years, I have:

• helped organisations improve accessibility in a structural and sustainable way
• carried out countless accessibility audits
• trained hundreds of people, from designers and developers to product owners, testers, content authors and management
• conducted user research with people with disabilities
• led an international team of accessibility specialists
• contributed to large, multi-year accessibility programmes for international organisations

I have worked with organisations such as Vodafone, British Airways, Leaseplan and Unilever, as well as with governments, smaller organisations and non-profits.

Pragmatic, people-centred and technically grounded

Accessibility is rarely straightforward. Legislation, technology, deadlines and organisational culture are constantly intertwined. My strength lies in translating complex topics into pragmatic solutions that work in practice.

My approach is:

• people-centred and coaching
• practical and actionable
• technically in-depth where needed

Always focused on sustainable improvement, not on ticking boxes.

The goal: embedding accessibility

For me, accessibility is not a checklist you complete once.
I strongly believe in knowledge transfer and organisational maturity.

That means:

• open and direct communication
• explaining why something matters, not just what needs to be done
• building understanding, skills and ownership together
• helping your organisation become as self-sufficient as possible

Not some generic one-off training and moving on, but truly embedding accessibility in teams, processes and products.

Accessibility is not always easy.
But it is one of the most valuable investments you can make for users and for your organisation.

My goal is to help organisations become mature and independent in digital accessibility, so that accessibility is no longer a dependency, but a natural part of how you work.

If you’d like to work on that together, I’m happy to think along with you.
