As a queer Vancouver-based graphic designer and illustrator, I am committed to ensuring that my website is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. I strive to create a platform that can be navigated with ease and enjoyment by everyone, regardless of their abilities. The site has been designed with the capabilities of the system in mind, and it is compatible with various assistive technologies.

Accessibility Commitment

This commitment to accessibility is an essential aspect of my work. I have implemented design and structural adjustments in line with WCAG 2.1 guidelines to ensure the site's compatibility with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard navigation. Some of the key adjustments include:

Key Accessibility Features

1. Utilization of clear heading structures on all pages
2. Addition of descriptive alternative text to images
3. Implementation of color combinations that meet the required contrast ratios
4. Reduction of the use of motion throughout the site
5. Ensuring accessibility of all multimedia content

Third-Party Content Consideration

It's important to note that certain pages on the site may contain third-party content, which could impact the overall accessibility. In such cases, I am committed to addressing these challenges and continually improving the accessibility of all site content.

Feedback from users is invaluable in identifying and addressing accessibility issues. If you encounter any challenges while navigating the site or have suggestions for improvement, please feel free to reach out. Your input will contribute to ongoing efforts to enhance the site's accessibility.
