Hi, I'm Kae! I work in digital accessibility, and I love to help design teams make their work more inclusive. When designs are inclusive, that means development will be done more accessibly. And when things are coded accessibly that means more people can use your products, which means your business can sell to more people. 

I have five years of experience in tech, and I've been able to work on fixing accessibility issues and preventing them from happening. Lots of accessibility professionals are focused on the rules, but I'm focused on the user experience. That means I'll help your team look for ways of doing things that work for as many people as possible. I love working collaboratively and teaching along the way.

Outside of work I like reading (I own more than 800 books), traveling (I've been to 25 countries), and getting excited about people's dogs when I go on walks. I'd love to learn more about you and how we can work together!
