Elizabeth Patrick

I am a passionate web professional striving to make web experiences user-friendly, robust, and accessible to as many people as possible.

I love building for the Web, using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React, while ensuring a good user experience.
In addition, I am a teacher at heart and I love educating people on building for the web in general, with a focus on web accessibility and usability.
I have conducted multiple trainings for product managers, UX specialists, UI designers, content writers, front-end developers, and quality assurance engineers on this fascinating and interdisciplinary topic.

Accessibility as a field and expertise is growing in popularity and is a valuable skill to have due to the legal aspect and the fact that it ensures good quality products, exhibiting professionalism.

In addition, making a product accessible creates a better experience for all users, known as the "curb cut effect", while improving SEO (search engine optimization), performance, and supporting different technologies (including Google bots, AR/VR, and assistive tech).

I love the diverse nature of my profession and can advise on multiple topics regarding accessibility, usability and code. I can also teach accessibility principles and WCAG 2.2 criteria.
