Partnerships

I work with your team as a part-time accessibility expert. I help add inclusive practices into your current process without making things harder or more complex.

Build accessibility into your team’s everyday work without needing to hire someone full time.

Fractional consulting leadership gives you access to expert help when you need it. I join your team’s workflow and help with early decisions. This way, accessibility supports your work from the start. It does not become a last-minute fix or just a checklist.

What partnership looks like

I work directly with your teams to:

Shape how accessibility fits into your product roadmap.
Build shared ownership across design, development, and product.
Create sustainable processes that outlast my involvement.
Translate compliance requirements into human-centred practices.

This isn't about:

One-off accessibility audits that gather dust.
Generic training that doesn't match your workflow.
Compliance theatre that misses real barriers.
Adding more process without clear value.

How we might work together

1. Ongoing Strategic Support

We’ll meet every week or every other week. I’ll join your team’s meetings, look at work in progress, and help make sure accessibility is part of your everyday work and big-picture plans.

Example of ongoing strategic support in action.

I work with a fintech startup two days a week. I help improve their design system, support team members on accessibility, and set up long-term plans for training and hiring.

2. Project-Based Partnership

I’ll work with your team on a specific project, from planning to follow-up after launch. This works well for teams that want to get one thing right and build stronger ways of working in the future.

Example of project-based partnership

A healthcare company partners with me for four months to redesign a patient portal. We focus on accessibility from the start and create simple rules the team can use later on.

What makes this different

Professional expertise, lived experience

I bring both technical know-how and personal perspective.
I don’t just follow accessibility standards, I rely on them.
That means I spot barriers that checklists and automated tools often miss.

Change that’s practical and people-first

We’ll focus on improvements that make a real difference for your users, not just ticking boxes.
Sometimes that means going beyond WCAG; sometimes it means starting small and building momentum.
Progress always beats perfection.

Your team, empowered

My goal isn’t to be the hero who fixes everything.
It’s to help your team build the skills and confidence to keep making progress long after I’m gone.
Every partnership leaves you stronger and more self-sufficient.

Common questions about partnerships

We've never worked with a fractional leader before.

Think of it as having a senior team member who brings deep expertise without the overhead of a full-time role. I integrate with your existing structure and communication style.

How do we know if we're ready?

If you're asking the question, you're ready. We'll start where you are and build from there. No judgement, just forward movement.

What about our existing accessibility efforts?

I'm here to amplify what's working and help evolve what isn't. If you have an accessibility team, I'll work to support and extend their impact. If you don't already have a team, we'll build sustainable practices together.

How do we measure success?

We'll define this together based on your goals. It might be shipping more accessible features, reducing user-reported barriers, building team confidence, or all of the above.

Pricing and timeline

Each partnership is priced based on what you actually need:

I believe everyone deserves access to inclusive design. I work with each organization to find pricing that fits their actual budget and situation. This lets me support nonprofits and small groups while larger organizations with more resources invest at their level.

Scope of work

How deeply involved I need to be with your team.
Whether it's ongoing support or a focused project.

Your situation

Complexity of your products and processes.
Team size and how many people I'll work with.
Your organization type (nonprofit, startup, enterprise).

Timeline

Most partnerships start with 3-6 month engagements.
Many continue as we find a strong working rhythm.
