I believe everyone should be able to use the web with independence, confidence and dignity. Access to information, services and opportunities should never depend on whether someone can see a screen, hear a video, use a mouse or process information in a particular way.
My goal is to help to make the web more accessible for people with disabilities as it is one of my core values. It shapes how I approach my work and the difference I want to make.
Why accessibility matters to me
As a wheelchair user, I know how a physical barrier can turn an everyday activity into a frustrating experience. A step at an entrance or a doorway that is too narrow can prevent someone from accessing a place they should be able to use.
There are plenty of barriers online, too. A form that cannot be completed using a keyboard, text that is difficult to read or a button that a screen reader cannot identify can stop someone from doing something essential.
My experience makes accessibility personal, but it does not mean I understand every access need. Disability is diverse. Listening to other disabled people and learning from their experiences is an essential part of doing this work well.
Too much of the web still leaves people out
Accessibility is still too often overlooked when websites are planned, designed and built. In its 2026 study of one million home pages, WebAIM found automatically detectable accessibility failures on 95.9% of them. Automated checks identify only some barriers, so these findings do not capture every difficulty people encounter.
You can explore the findings in the WebAIM Million 2026 report.
Behind those figures are people trying to book appointments, apply for jobs, buy essentials or find information. I want to help change that experience by making accessibility part of the work from the beginning.
My commitment
- Start with accessibility. Consider access needs throughout planning, design, development and content creation.
- Make things clear and usable. Prioritise readable content, meaningful structure and interactions people can understand and operate.
- Respect different ways of using the web. Consider people using keyboards, screen readers, magnification, voice control and other assistive technologies.
- Listen to people with disabilities. Welcome feedback and recognise that real experiences reveal things automated tools cannot.
- Keep improving. Review my work, take reported barriers seriously and apply what I learn.
What I aim for on this website
I want everyone to be able to use this website, whatever device, browser or assistive technology they use. This website aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.
Accessibility is an ongoing responsibility. As content, features and technologies change, I am committed to reviewing the experience and addressing barriers as I become aware of them.
What you can do on this website
- Navigate using a keyboard. Links, buttons and form fields show a visible outline when they have focus. A “Skip to content” link lets you move straight to the main content.
- Pause moving content. Use the “Pause animations” switch at the bottom of every page to pause animations, moving logos and project videos. The “Pause animations” skip link takes you straight to this control. If your device is set to reduce motion, this content is paused automatically.
- Enlarge the page. You can zoom to 200% and still read the content without scrolling sideways.
- Navigate with a screen reader. Pages use headings and landmarks to organise content, images have text alternatives, and form fields have labels.
Known limitations
I want to be open about areas where barriers may remain:
- The CookieYes cookie banner and Cloudflare Turnstile spam check on the contact form are provided by other companies. My ability to change their behaviour is limited, but I welcome reports of any difficulties using them.
- The short videos on some project pages are silent, but text descriptions of their visual content are not currently provided. This means some visual information may be unavailable to people who cannot see the videos.
If these features prevent you from accessing information or getting in touch, please email me so I can help.
How this website was checked
Every page was tested at desktop and phone sizes using axe-core, an automated accessibility checker. Manual checks were also carried out using a keyboard and at 200% zoom.
These checks help identify barriers, but they cannot account for every access need or guarantee that every part of the website will work for everyone. Feedback from people using the website is an important part of improving it.
Tell me about a problem
If something on this website does not work for you, or you need information in a different format, please email [email protected]. I will reply personally.
If you can, include the page address, what you were trying to do and what got in your way. You can also mention your browser or assistive technology if you feel comfortable sharing that information.
My aim is simple: to help make a web where more people can participate, with fewer barriers in their way.
