What takes shape in the shadows eventually comes out into the light.
Vesper isn't a studio, because of its sheer range. Between accessibility audits, the tools I code (including for my own work), side projects, and whatever I'm learning at the moment, a lab fit much better. Sticky notes everywhere, the eternal "500 Internal Server Error," and my virtual lab coat: I publish it all in the open, in French and English.
What I care about
-
Holding multiple points of view
I notice barriers because I learned to notice them from several angles at once: care work, sociology, design, and code. Expanding what's possible starts with understanding what a system even is, why it's there, how it gets built, how it works, and how it fits into everything around it.
-
Making an impact
I work for the public, with organizations that want to change things. Making the second group visible to the first already leaves a lasting mark toward a more accessible web.
-
Getting the message across
I use my voice to make things clear: articles, workshops, plain-language explanations. I push for concrete action, grounded in the disability creation process (PPH), a social and environmental model of disability.
-
Thinking accessibility as plural
I build free, accessible, open-source tools, held to the same standards as the sites I audit, so people can teach themselves web accessibility. Everything I make, projects, content, and audit reports alike, is meant to be accessible, practical, and usable with your eyes closed.
What's happening
-
Vesper Visible
One site, two pages: one built accessible, the other improvised. Spot the differences for yourself.
-
Vesper Compass and Sonar
The WCAG 2.2 reference, in French and English, to understand the real needs behind every criterion.
-
Essayer, évoluer, recommencer
Evolving is good. Putting what you learned to use is even better: revisiting one of my old projects.
