Services
I'm a digital accessibility consultant focused on resolving ADA demand letters and ADA lawsuits, reducing compliance risk, and fixing the underlying issues - not just the symptoms.
Since 2010, I've helped organizations build digital experiences that work for everyone. Accessibility isn't just the right thing to do - it's smart business.
What I Offer
- ADA Demand Letters and ADA Lawsuits: I review the letter or case, tell you what's valid, and document real fixes your attorney can use. I'm not an attorney and don't provide legal advice - I handle the technical side.
- ADA Title II Compliance: Municipalities, school districts, courts, and transit agencies must meet WCAG 2.1 AA, with deadlines starting April 2027. I provide audits, remediation, project management, and staff training for long-term compliance.
- PDF Remediation: I remediate documents to meet WCAG and PDF/UA standards, ensuring compatibility with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and assistive technologies - standalone or as part of a broader program.
- Accessibility Project Management: Included with every engagement, no matter the scope. Structured. Clear. On track.
I also provide VPAT/ACR documentation, role-based training, CA/UK/EU accessibility consulting, and fractional support (5-15 hrs/week).
I don't sell or use overlays. They don't fix the underlying code, and can work against you as evidence you papered over a problem instead of solving it.
What Sets This Apart
With 15 years of experience, I focus on conformance, not just checklists - making accessibility sustainable. Strategy, execution, and someone who gets it. All in one.
Background
I hold a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Graphic Design, with a solid foundation in visual communication and user experience.
I am a member of the International Association of Accessibility Professionals.
I am currently studying for the CPACC.
I've been a web developer since 1995 - when websites were new and digital accessibility wasn't yet a focus.
As a neurodivergent person, I saw firsthand how small design choices could make digital spaces either welcoming or frustrating.
That personal experience shaped my approach to web design from the start.
Around 2010, I officially started focusing on digital accessibility. It was a natural step, merging years of web design know-how with a genuine passion for making digital spaces accessible for everyone.
When something deeply affects your life, you tend to notice details others might miss.
Over the years, I've worked with major companies including:
- Microsoft
- Wharton University
- Penske
- American Express
During my 3 years at American Express, I guided digital projects through every stage of their journey, ensuring accessibility was included from the first idea to the final launch. I rewrote the standard operating procedures for the entire project lifecycle, with role-based responsibilities that made accessibility everyone's job.
As a digital accessibility ambassador, I constantly promote inclusivity, raise awareness, and influence culture through education tailored to different roles and needs.
I am the founder of Accessibility Business Academy, an educational platform and community for entrepreneurs who want to build or grow a business focused on digital accessibility services.
Beyond Work
Life outside digital accessibility is anything but quiet.
I've been teaching Krav Maga since 1985 - these days, I focus on private training, which means more personalized, high-impact sessions.
When I'm not in training mode, you'll find me in my Japanese-inspired garden, which is exactly as peaceful as it sounds.
I love cooking, especially seafood dishes.
I'm almost done writing a book about digital accessibility for business owners - written entirely without technical jargon, for people who are brand new to the subject. It's the book I wish had existed years ago.
As someone who is neurodivergent - Dyslexic with Auditory Processing Disorder - I'm deeply drawn to communities where people learn and think differently. That connection fuels both my personal and professional life.
I'm passionate about rescue dogs, and my own dog is living proof that the best companions come from second chances.
And then there's Minecraft. Growing up in Denmark, the land of Lego, building things is practically in my DNA. I've spent hours constructing a large Japanese city from the Edo period - hundreds of buildings, all in meticulous detail. It's part creative obsession, part digital history project, and 100% worth every hour.
