Web Accessibility Design Leadership
My digital accessibility efforts for the Enablon product suite led to WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance through systematic audits and cross-functional collaboration
Over two years, I led digital accessibility for the Enablon suite, achieving WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance. By resolving 90% of identified issues and building internal capabilities, I helped transform accessibility from a compliance task into a strategic asset that was instrumental in securing a major contract with Microsoft.

Successfully resolved 90% of identified accessibility issues within 2 years, demonstrating measurable progress toward full WCAG conformance that helped Enablon secure contract with Microsoft.
Comprehensive Accessibility Auditing & Remediation
I conducted systematic audits against WCAG 2.2 success criteria to identify and eliminate barriers. My approach balanced strict compliance with high-quality user experience.
Audit Scope: Evaluated visual design, keyboard navigation, responsiveness, and assistive tech compatibility.
Collaboration: Partnered with product teams to implement optimized solutions within existing technical constraints.
Outcome: Improved overall platform usability while ensuring 90% remediation of critical barriers.

Assistive Technology Optimization
I optimized the platform for screen readers and mouse-free interaction by implementing robust semantic structures.
ARIA Integration: Used
aria-label,aria-labelledby, and meaningful tooltips to provide essential context.Logical Hierarchy: Restructured page landmark regions (main, navigation, etc.) to create predictable content flows.
Navigation: Refined focus management and tab orders to enable efficient, predictable keyboard-only use.
Through this work, I comprehensively managed inclusive design principles, accessibility testing methodologies, and the implementation strategies necessary to embed accessibility into the product development lifecycle.
Visual Accessibility & Responsive Design
Focused on perceivability, I ensured the interface remained functional and readable for users with varied visual and physical needs.
Color & Contrast: Redesigned elements to meet WCAG AA standards, supporting users with low vision or color deficiencies.
Scalability: Implemented responsive patterns that support 400% zoom levels, maintained functionality and readability across device sizes and orientations.
Organizational Impact & Accessibility Maturity
Beyond individual product improvements, I played a key role in establishing an accessibility maturity model for the organization. I shifted the organizational mindset from "one-time fix" to continuous improvement by embedding accessibility into the product lifecycle.
Maturity Model: Developed a structured roadmap to assess and grow accessibility capabilities across design, dev, and QA.
Stakeholder Support: Created an internal Accessibility Solution Finder portal to streamline troubleshooting for product teams.
Business Value: Demonstrated that accessibility excellence is a competitive differentiator that creates tangible business value in the enterprise market.
