Accessibility Statement

Commitment to Accessibility

I am committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. I am continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure this portfolio is accessible to the widest possible audience.

As a product designer working in regulated industries, I understand the critical importance of inclusive design and compliance with accessibility guidelines.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

This portfolio aims to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.

Current Status: Partially Conformant
"Partially conforms" means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Accessibility Features

This website includes the following accessibility features:

• Semantic HTML5 markup with proper heading hierarchy
• ARIA landmarks and labels for screen reader navigation
• Keyboard navigation support for all interactive elements
• Skip-to-content link for keyboard users
• Color contrast ratios meeting or approaching WCAG AA standards
• Responsive design supporting 200% text zoom
• Respects prefers-reduced-motion user preferences
• Alternative text for meaningful images

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions:

• Color Contrast: Some decorative elements and low-emphasis text may not meet the strict 4.5:1 contrast ratio. These are being reviewed and improved.
• Complex Visualizations: Some data visualizations and interactive prototypes may lack comprehensive text alternatives. Detailed descriptions are being added.
• Third-Party Content: Embedded videos from YouTube and external links may not fully conform to WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
• Animation Control: While prefers-reduced-motion is supported, some decorative animations may still play at reduced speeds rather than being completely disabled.

Feedback and Contact

I welcome your feedback on the accessibility of this portfolio. If you encounter accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact me:

I aim to respond to accessibility feedback within 3-5 business days.

Assessment Approach

This portfolio has been assessed using the following methods:

• Self-evaluation: Internal review against WCAG 2.1 Level AA success criteria
• Automated testing: axe DevTools, WAVE, and Lighthouse accessibility audits
• Keyboard navigation: Manual testing of all interactive elements
• Screen reader testing: Compatibility testing with NVDA and macOS VoiceOver
