I am a consultant, open source developer, and accessibility specialist with decades of experience in building inclusive, usable web interfaces. You can find my work in several open source library software platforms, WordPress, and conferences in higher education and open source. I am also a technical writer with three published books as well as the Evergreen ILS guide to accessibility.
You can get in touch here or on LinkedIn.
Anceble
Anceble is my new consulting venture with two dear friends. We are building a boutique consultancy for public good organizations (nonprofits, schools, and companies that cater to them). My focus is on accessibility and usability reviews and training. As a group, we work with all aspects of digital governance. If your organization has a mess on your hands, get in touch! We love mess.
MLIS
I graduated in 2022 from the University of Washington iSchool‘s MLIS program, where I researched how library users find LGTBQIA+ materials in the catalog, the history of fiction classification schemes, and how text mining methods could be used to glean bibliographic relationships from book reviews and author interviews.

I have previously worked with Equinox OLI as a front end developer, primarily as a core contributor to Evergreen ILS.
WordPress Books
I’ve written a book for web professionals who are new to WordPress, Beginning WordPress 3, published in June 2010 by Apress. The second edition, titled WordPress for Web Developers, came out in 2013, with significant changes and additions.
My third book, Content Strategy for WordPress (2015), is for site owners of all backgrounds, not just web developers. It describes how to implement specific content strategy tactics, like content inventories and editorial calendars, using WordPress features and plugins.
All of these books are significantly outdated. The publisher keeps them available for library reference only. Feel free to look them up in your library if you’re curious about my writing, but do not buy them to learn about current WordPress development.
