Hi, I am Luke.
I am a certified professional in web accessibility. I bring my interdisciplinary background in disability culture to my work in digital accessibility, user experience (UX), and inclusive design. I am passionate about promoting digital accessibility by centering those most impacted by inaccessible and exclusionary systems.
I have 7 years of experience working in higher education, libraries, publishing, nonprofits, and the federal government on:
- Web and document accessibility audits (WCAG, ADA, Section 508, EN 301 549, EAA, VPAT, ACR)
- Accessibility consulting, training, and workshops (web, document, and media accessibility, inclusive and universal design, neurodiversity, and disability culture and identity)
- User Experience (UX) research and design
- Accessible web development in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, WAI-ARIA, and Python
- Strategic planning around digital accessibility
