I am a Accessibility Advocate, Girl Code & Women in Tech Ambassador and Google Developer Advocate currently working at Storyblok as a Developer Relations Engineer.
As an international speaker, I address topics like web accessibility and creating and fostering inclusive communities all over the world.
Originally coming from a communications background, I got to web development in my late twenties through a programming bootcamp. Since then I have worked as a frontend engineer developing complex applications, working on accessibility audits, and, these days, as a Developer Relations Engineer at Storyblok.
Examples of previous talks / appearances:
Accessibility is a decisive tool to make the internet a more inclusive place, it is absolutely crucial and despite the popular belief that only a small user group is affected, it benefits every single one of us. The reality doesn’t yet reflect that, though - accessibility often just seems like an afterthought.
I will show the benefits of implementing accessibility and eliminate some of the prejudices. I want the audience to take away the fact that it's rather easy to get started, that a little bit is better than nothing and give them helpful tools to put their motivation into action.
Web Accessibility is not only legally required in many countries, but it is also an essential tool to make the web a more inclusive place for all. And while it’s a necessity for some, it benefits all of us: Through improved performance, better usability, and clearer design. A Headless CMS can pave the way for you here - using the example of Storyblok, we will explore how. We will have a closer look at headline hierarchies, color contrast, alternative text, and keyboard accessibility as well as creating accessible content and code - in a mixture of live demo, background context, and real-life examples.
