A freelance digital accessibility consultant and front-end developer, I’ve been working on the web for almost two decades and specialising in digital accessibility since 2011.I help organisations to build accessibility into their teams, products and processes. I have a knack of fitting into teams and seeing how to make things better.I’m a web generalist, so I’ve worked as a front-end developer writing HTML, CSS and limited amounts of JavaScript. I’ve also run product teams, made prototypes, carried out service design, run (and won) pitches, designed websites and user interfaces, worked as a product owner, delivery manager and tech line manager.Part of the original team who built the alpha.gov.uk prototype, I became one of the founding members of the Government Digital Service. Working initially as a developer, later as Accessibility Lead and eventually promoted to the role of Head of Accessibility, I was solely responsible for creating and evangelising accessibility delivery efforts across GOV.UK and the wider UK government digital transformation programme.I’ve spoken about accessibility and my work on GOV.UK at conferences such as Future of Web Design London, UX Scotland, Web Managers Group, UX Brighton, Hot Source Norwich, Collaborate, and Re:Develop.I’ve led workshops and trained hundreds of designers, developers, content creators and product owners during my time in government. Since then I’ve provided consulting, mentoring and code & design reviews for clients including Saga, M&S, Citizens Advice, WWF UK and SightSavers.Specialties: accessibility, training, service design, prototyping, delivery management, usability, user-centred design, front-end engineering, product development, project management, training, digital government.
