Nicknamed double-A, like the accessibility standard.
Bringing Accessibility Excellence to Every Project
Ph.D. (h.c.) in Accessibility and Inclusive Design
I am actively involved with the MATF at W3C, which has been tasked to translate the WCAG to fit the mobile apps use case. My experience of working with WHO and ILO gave me the initial boost to bring accessibility to design phase, which led to development of accessibility guidelines for design professionals.
I contribute to the W3C Mobile Accessibility Task Force (MATF), helping translate WCAG into guidance that works for native mobile contexts. Alongside that work, I created the SUC Score framework — a way for designers and PMs to prioritise accessibility findings by severity before a single ticket is filed — and the WCAG 2.2 Designers' Handbook, so teams can design accessibly without waiting for an auditor to tell them what they missed.
I work closely with cross-functional teams to develop accessible design systems that help in creation of accessible apps and products without the designers having to second guess their choices.
CPACC is the gold-standard credential from IAAP, testing knowledge of disability, assistive technology, and accessibility standards across web, mobile, and the physical world. It is how accessibility professionals demonstrate they know the field, not just the tools.
I contribute to global accessibility standards by testing and documenting mobile-specific features. MATF is translating and testing the guidelines along with mobile-first accessibility guidelines.
Awarded an Honorary Doctorate by American Management University for public-facing work in digital accessibility, including designing the SUC Score framework that help designers and PMs consider accessibility right from the start.
Accessible design systems mean teams make the right call without having to think twice. I audit component libraries, define accessible tokens, and document the patterns that let designers and engineers ship inclusively — without second-guessing every decision.
I've published multiple resources, including the WCAG 2.2 Designers' Handbook, providing accessibility best practices. My content incorporates storytelling with real-world application to help make the subject accessible to a wider audience, making it ideal for both experts and beginners.
The WCAG 2.2 Designers' Handbook, Mobile Accessibility Rituals, EAA Impact Sizer, and the SUC Score framework are available as standalone resources — so the accessible practices continue beyond any engagement. Think of them as the field guide that extends the audit.
