From the inside.

I'd love to share more about what I've been working on:

  • AI & Accessibility experiments
  • design systems, and getting accessibility built in rather than bolted on
  • building software for myself and clients
  • working sessions that get corporate clients and individuals unstuck
  • stakeholder engagement
  • accessibility strategy & influence
  • doing the work as a team of one

I send new experiment results and new ideas to this list before I even publish them. Here's where you get all the details and announcements of new courses & workshops, and the other things I'm working on, releasing, launching, and thinking... algorithm free, naturally!

Drop your email and I'll add you to the list.

You're in straight away. I'll send a welcome email shortly. Unsubscribe any time. Reply any time and tell me what you're working on. I read every one.

Want a sample of what I send?

Some of it comes out of the lab. I've graded over 5,700 AI-generated modals so far, and I run every new model through the same test.

Here's three of the newsletter issues I've sent out this year:

  • I made AI build the same modal 2,340 times. Here's what I learned.
  • When roles collapse, so does judgement.
  • What I learned from office hours conversations

Inclusive, by design.
