I’m a digital accessibility consultant currently working with the crew at Intopia. Before that I was with Simply Accessible. I’ve been doing this for about 8 years now, and I really enjoy it. Before that I worked as a front-end developer specialising in e-learning.
I’ve recently been giving talks on accessibility at meetups and conferences. You can find recent talks of mine at Notist, or watch some older ones: CSS for low-vision users at CSSConfAU (with captions available) or giving a lightning talk on colour contrast at Collide in 2016.
If you have questions about digital accessibility, or need help with it, you can often find me at meetups – I attend the Fenders events regularly, as well as being a member of the Perth Web Accessibility group.
