I am Dev & UX Accessibility Specialist at Atos.
After graduating University in Musicology and Japanese Studies in summer 2020, I started learning front-end development and specialized in the topic of web accessibility early on. Since then, I take every opportunity to spread awareness on the topic by regularly creating content in form of writing blog articles and such.
I have been certified by IAAP as a Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) in 2022 and got accepted in the Google Developer Expert Program in 2023.

How blind people navigate the world, on and offline
The WCAG are our non-tactile guiding lines for web accessibility, but many of us working in web accessibility have never experienced the real world through low-vision eyes.
This talk is a collaboration between UX for hardware and front-end development to give you the best of both worlds: on and offline. Together we will explore how a white cane can take you from point A to be and how a screen reader works through your main user flow.
At the core of this talk will be the fact that blindness is a spectrum and therefore, no one-size-fits-all solution exists. However, if you understand how blind users interact with your website, it's going to be easier to make decisions on what will be useful to users in a particular flow, design in a usable way, and choose the right tags in your code.
Getting Started with Designing for Web Accessibility
As UX designers, we want to create designs that users like, identify with, a product that they want to use.
Designers also usually want to reach as many users as possible, and this can be achieved through accessible content. This can be a personal goal, a company goal or because it is legally required. And if you're not familiar with accessibility, it can be quite frustrating at first.
So in this session, I'll show you what to consider when creating your designs and how to create an accessible user experience.
Accessibility in React Application
If you are familiar with accessibility in HTML and CSS, then you are good to go in a React application as well. Most of the rules still apply. But you may need to write it a little differently, and consider other things in addition, which we will discuss in more detail in this talk.
After the talk participants will have a understanding on how to write react code with accessibility in mind, how to work with DOM and Virtual DOM, how to test with keyboard and screen reader to make future as well as existing apps more accessible.
Accessibility Features in Chrome DevTools and beyond
You speak semantic HTML, aria is nothing you are afraid of and you want to bring your accessibility skills to the next level? Then this session is the right one for you.
Let's get started with testing using Chrome DevTools, familiarize ourselves with scenarios to understand how people with certain disabilities would perceive the web and even practice our understanding of screen reader and the Accessibility API.
After this session I want you to have a solid understanding of the daily tasks I am confronted with as a Web Accessibility Specialist.
Accessibility is not a checklist!
Accessibility is not a checklist! Yet many focus on checking all the boxes to make their UI accessible and miss the bigger picture. Accessibility is not the goal in itself, but simply a means to an end: an inclusive experience for all users!
In this workshop, participants will learn how to spot the most common accessibility bugs plaguing an assistive tech user’s journey. Web accessibility has to be anchored in the code, which can look scary at first. But don’t worry! I will guide you through the other side of the console.log and teach you how to communicate these issues to your dev team.
Improve code quality with screen reader testing
Web accessibility is a technical challenge. And there is nothing we developers love more than challenges, right? It's on us to figure out how to overcome these challenges with the best solution out there.
So, if you understand how blind users interact with your website, it's going to be easier to make decisions on what will be useful to users in a particular flow, design in a usable way, and choose the right tags in your code.

UXCon Vienna: Accessibility is not a checklist!
Accessibility is not a checklist! Yet many focus on checking all the boxes to make their UI accessible and miss the bigger picture. Accessibility is not the goal in itself, but simply a means to an end: an inclusive experience for all users!
In this workshop, participants will learn how to spot the most common accessibility bugs plaguing an assistive tech user’s journey. Don’t know what types of assistive technology (or AT for short) is out there in the big wide world? No worries! Laura, UX Researcher for the AT development company Hope Tech, will explain what exists, how it works and what’s so cool about it. Spoiler alert: It’s the ability to provide access.
Web accessibility has to be anchored in the code, which can look scary at first. But don’t worry! Google Development Expert Julia will guide you through the other side of the console.log and teach you how to communicate these issues to your dev team.
All participants are cordially invited to bring their website for us to test together!
