Context

After years of leading accessibility work inside government and enterprise organizations, I kept seeing the same failure: teams commissioned an audit, received a long list of WCAG issues, fixed some of them, and regressed on the next release. The report was treated as the deliverable. Nothing changed in how the organization made decisions.

The challenge

Accessibility is usually run as a periodic compliance review, disconnected from the product workflow. The result is expensive, repetitive, and fragile. The real problem was not detection. It was helping teams decide what to do, in what order, and how to keep it from breaking again.

My role

As founder and product lead, I own the product strategy, the core experience, the AI approach, pricing, and go-to-market. I work directly with early organizations to ground the product in how accessibility work actually happens.

Approach

  • Framed accessibility as an operational capability, not a report. The product is built to change what teams do next.
  • Paired automated detection with AI-assisted interpretation and plain-language guidance, so findings become decisions.
  • Designed for prioritization by user and organizational impact, manual testing, regression testing, and evidence over time.
  • Kept humans in control: the product supports judgment, it does not replace the tester.

Outcome

Limena is in active development and in use with early organizations. It reframes accessibility from a document that sits on a shelf into a workflow that helps teams prioritize, verify, and prevent regressions.

What I learned

The value is not in finding more issues. It is in helping a team make a smaller number of better decisions and sustain them. Building the company made that lesson concrete in a way advising never could.
