Hi, I'm Charlie

I can turn your teams into accessibility champions.

I invented MagentaA11y, a tool for building testing criteria and I wrote The Book on Accessibility, your guide to building a compliance program.

If I was working with your teams right now, here's how I'd be helping:

Product management

Let's set realistic goals, prioritize work and write accessibility acceptance criteria.
UX design

Take ownership of the experience for all of your customers and translate that to developers.
Developer coaching

Let's properly solve accessibility issues faster and write smarter code.
Testing coaching

Accessibility testing isn't the end, it actually starts at the beginning with test criteria.
Training & workshops

We're not just talking about the right thing to do, it's the best thing for all of your customers.
Agile processes

Adding the right tools to your agile lifecycle can make a huge difference

Looking for a place to start? These guides are the foundation for making accessible products.
