Accessibility in Design

Accessibility, cohesion, and clarity are at the core of how I design — and how I believe teams should work. Accessibility matters to me because the world should be usable by everyone. 1 in 4 people in the U.S. live with a disability, and most of us will experience limitations at some point in our lives. And yet, only 3% of the web is accessible.

This isn’t just a gap — it’s exclusion. In college, I took a class called Disability & Architecture, that stressed how design choices intended serve a disabled community often improve the experience for everyone. Classic example: the dip in the curb. Designed for wheelchair users, it’s now essential for people pushing strollers, rolling luggage or grocery carts— or simply recognizing an entrance.

Digital accessibility works the same way. It improves clarity, fosters inclusion, and creates better experiences for all users — not just those with permanent disabilities. Accessible websites reach more customers, improve satisfaction, and build long-term loyalty. They’re not just legally required — they’re good for business and essential for great design.

Accessibility isn’t extra. It completes the work.
