About Me

Professional Focus

Making digital experiences accessible to all

I’m Mark “Steady” Steadman, an accessibility leader, public speaker, and general accessibility nerd with a focus on scaling accessibility across large organizations and within product teams

My goal is to bridge the gap between accessibility theory and engineering reality. Using my own experience, starting from an arrogant developer and growing into a leader, to show others that accessibility isn’t an exclusive discipline reserved for experts. It’s a skill any developer can learn, a practice any team can adopt, and a responsibility every organization can embrace.
