My “Perspectives-First” Approach
Accessibility is more than checklists and technical best practices. Those matter—and we’ll use them—but I focus on shifting perspectives by building “access thinking” (considering the fullness of human abilities and disabilities in everyday choices) and a “culture of access” (making that thinking a shared habit). Policies change and requirements evolve, but real change comes from connection, and I’m here to help you build something that lasts.
Designing A Path for Your Needs
The examples above illustrate the types of support available, but you don’t need to know exactly what you want yet. I tailor every engagement to your goals, team capacity, and timeline.
Tell me where you want to go, and I’ll help craft a proposal that balances resources and effort to best meet your goals—on a path only you could take.

Why Work with Me?
If you feel most driven by community, we’re on the same page. If you think authenticity and humor are key to getting it done, we’ll make some magic together.
I’ve been around! Whether it’s a rural community library, or a premiere metropolitan museum, context matters, and I meet people where they’re at.
My style is facilitative. I don’t give you the “right answers,” I know my clients know their community best, and I provide tools to discover the way forward.
I value a working relationship that is thorough, organized, flexible, and communicative.
