Commitment to Accessibility

Technology for Everyone

I believe that technology has the power to create connection, opportunity, and growth for all people. This belief drives my commitment to making this website and all my services accessible to everyone, regardless of ability, background, or circumstance.

Accessibility isn't just about compliance. It's about creating spaces where everyone can participate fully, learn effectively, and feel valued. When we design with accessibility in mind, we create better experiences for everyone.

This commitment extends beyond this website to all my work: AI consultations, creative workshops, website building, and community spaces. I'm constantly learning and improving to better serve diverse needs and perspectives.

WCAG Standards

The Four Principles

This website strives to meet or exceed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.

Perceivable

Content is presented in ways that users can perceive, regardless of their sensory abilities. This includes proper contrast ratios, text alternatives for images, and clear navigation.

Operable

All functionality is available through multiple input methods, including keyboard navigation, voice commands, and assistive technologies. No content requires specific timing.

Understandable

Content and navigation are clear and predictable. Text is readable and understandable, and the site operates in predictable ways that users can easily learn and use.

Robust

The site is compatible with current and future assistive technologies, including screen readers, voice recognition software, and other accessibility tools.
