Frontend,Accessibility,Drupal
I am a frontend developer and accessibility specialist with a practice rooted in the Drupal ecosystem. I work with agencies and organizations on web projects that meet WCAG standards and hold up over time.
Three services that can stand alone or combine into an ongoing partnership.
I build frontends across modern stacks, grounded in strong HTML and CSS work. This includes design system translation, component library implementation, and pattern documentation your team can actually maintain and extend.
Best for agencies with ongoing client work who need a reliable, senior-level frontend developer without the cost of a full-time hire, and for projects where someone needs to think alongside both designers and backend developers.
Thorough WCAG 2.2 Level AA reviews with prioritized, actionable findings your team can work from directly. I document the issues with clear implementation guidance and can stay on to help fix what I find. Works as a standalone engagement or as part of broader development work.
Best for agencies with clients facing compliance requirements or legal risk, and for organizations that want their sites tested with real assistive technology, not just automated scanners.
Drupal work from theming through architecture and configuration: content types, views, fields, and the structural decisions that shape how a site behaves. Architectural choices get documented along the way so the work stays legible for whoever inherits it.
Best for teams already working in Drupal who need a specialist who can contribute from day one, and for agencies taking on legacy Drupal migrations where accessibility debt deserves equal attention alongside the upgrade.
I work with a limited number of agency partners so each relationship gets real attention. Four things worth knowing:
A practice built over 15+ years of frontend development means I read a project quickly, keep it moving, and think alongside the team. I make the small calls, flag the ones worth your input, and document as I go so the work holds up for whoever inherits it.
Accessibility sits at the center of my practice, grounded in dignity and in careful HTML, ARIA, and CSS work. I take on new builds where accessibility informs decisions throughout, and existing sites that need thorough audit and remediation.
My Drupal work started with version 5 and has evolved with each release since. I cover theming as well as configuration and architecture, and I enjoy the kinds of projects where Drupal's structural depth actually matters. Migrations carrying accessibility debt fit well within my scope.
AI tools have become part of the practice: they draft, scan, and handle boilerplate. I steward the work. Setting the standards the tools operate within, directing what gets built and why, and bringing experienced judgment to every output.
My interest in accessibility started long before I wrote my first line of code. I grew up with an uncle who had Down's Syndrome, and it was clear early on that inclusion and dignity belong together. That conviction has shaped how I approach both my personal life and professional work.
I studied humanities (literature, art, and religion) and spent years teaching painting, graphic design, and web design. Both backgrounds shape how I approach technical work. The humanities taught me to read closely and sit with complexity. Teaching sharpened the habit of explaining complex ideas clearly.
I'm currently studying for the IAAP Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) exam.
When I'm not building for the web, you'll likely find me reading, playing board games, creating art, or making custom teas.
I work best with agencies and organizations who value quality work, thoughtful implementation, and sustainable partnerships. If that sounds like your team, I'd like to hear what you're working on.
