Hello,

My name is Ian Guedry and I am a dedicated Digital Accessibility Specialist with a passion for making the digital world more inclusive and accessible for all. With a lifetime of being legally blind, I have been on a mission to bridge the gap between technology and inclusivity. My work is driven by the belief that technology should empower everyone, regardless of their abilities or disabilities.

I embarked on my journey in digital accessibility by earning the CPACC from the IAAP and have been working with leading nonprofit and for profit industries and both federal and state entites. It is with these that I honed my expertise in evaluating and improving digital accessibility standards.

Throughout my career, I have achieved significant milestones, including:

  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams to conduct comprehensive accessibility audits on websites and applications.

  • Developing and implementing strategies to ensure compliance with accessibility standards such as WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).

  • Providing training and guidance to designers, developers, and content creators to integrate accessibility best practices into their work.

  • Conducting user testing and feedback sessions with individuals with disabilities to gain valuable insights and drive user-centered accessibility improvements.

  • Advocating for accessibility at every stage of the development process, from design conception to post-launch maintenance.

Passion for Inclusivity:

What drives me most in my role is witnessing the positive impact that accessible digital experiences have on people's lives. I am deeply committed to creating a more inclusive online environment where everyone has equal access to information, services, and opportunities.

Looking ahead, I am excited to continue my journey as a Digital Accessibility Specialist. I aim to stay at the forefront of accessibility innovations and contribute to the development of universally designed digital solutions. My ultimate goal is to be a catalyst for change, inspiring organizations to prioritize accessibility and embrace it as an integral part of their digital strategies.
