I've led two global Design System efforts from pilot to production. I'm always happy to share the hard-won lessons and wins I've experienced on that journey.

Accessibility

Accessibility

Accessibility isn't about being, charitable or compassionate

It is the process of delivering products that benefit everyone.

July 2025 is the first enactment in European history that stipulates all digital products need to be accessible by law

Inevitably, a whole industry of claims for non-compliance is burgeoning.

I'm trained and accredited in accessibility and can help you navigate compliance for these new laws.
