The internet
should feel human.
Designing digital experiences that are accessible, inclusive, and emotionally respectful for everyone, especially those the web has historically overlooked.
Most accessibility work focuses on compliance. HumanEI goes further: I design so that people feel seen, understood, capable, and included not confused, excluded, or exhausted.
Why HumanEI exists
Protect the heart — the most vital organ
Real people are not ideal users. People are tired, distracted, visually impaired, dyslexic, anxious, ageing, or simply having a difficult day. The web was built ignoring those realities. HumanEI is built around them.
WHY
Because everyone deserves digital dignity
I believe the internet should feel human accessible, understandable, and emotionally safe for everyone, especially those it has historically overlooked.
HOW
Design + WCAG, layered with human experience
Combining accessibility standards with empathetic design thinking. Compliance gets you to the door. Human-centred design invites people inside.
WHAT
Accessible, inclusive digital experiences
UX/UI design, WCAG-aligned websites, accessible design systems, and inclusive interfaces built for the reality that every human experiences limitation.
Every human deserves dignity, online
Room to expand the dignity of every human
Dignity online looks like being able to finish a form without help. Hearing a page read back clearly. Reading a sentence once and understanding it. None of that is a stretch goal, it’s the baseline HumanEI designs to.
Compliance is the floor, not the ceiling
The backbone — WCAG as foundation, not ceiling
Most accessibility work stops at the checklist. I start there and go further and I build toward where the standards are heading, not just where they are today.
⬜ Typical accessibility approach
- Compliance-first mentality
- Technical, jargon-heavy reports
- Checklist mentality — tick and move on
- Reactive fixes after launch
- Ignores emotional experience
- Treats disabled users as edge cases
💛 The HumanEI approach
- Human-first, always
- Plain language, actionable feedback
- WCAG 2.2 AA as a foundation — WCAG 3.0-ready by design
- Accessibility baked in from day one
- Emotional clarity woven through design
- Real people at the centre of every decision
Walk in someone else’s shoes
Shield what’s vulnerable — walk in their shoes
Experience the web as others do. Activate any mode to feel it.
Low Vision
Reduced clarity and increased contrast needs.
Colour Blindness
Protanopia — how colour-only cues disappear.
Dyslexia View
Adjusted typography and spacing for readability.
Cognitive Load
Reduce visual complexity for cognitive access.
Keyboard-Only
Try navigating this page without touching the mouse.
Screen Reader
Hear the page read aloud by speech synthesis.
Logic and feeling, unified
Left meets right — logic and feeling, unified
Good accessibility work is never just technical or just emotional. It’s both, working together the same way the left and right hold up a single mind.
Structured thinking
WCAG success criteria, semantic markup, keyboard logic, contrast ratios. The measurable, testable side of accessibility the part an auditor can check off.
Felt experience
Whether a page feels calm or overwhelming. Whether error messages sound kind or cold. The side of accessibility that a checklist can’t capture, but every user notices.

People worldwide live with some form of disability. But accessible design helps everyone — not just those who identify as disabled.
Captions help far more than you think
85% of social videos are watched on mute. Captions serve commuters, non-native speakers, focus-challenged users, and people in noisy environments — not only deaf users.
Contrast benefits ageing eyes
The global population is ageing. Good colour contrast, clear type, and readable layouts are simply good design for a longer lived audience.
Plain language works for everyone
Writing for cognitive accessibility makes content clearer for everyone — including experts who are tired and just need a straight answer.
What people actually say
Absorb impact — protection under pressure
“For the first time I could complete the entire process without asking for help. That independence meant everything.”
Screen reader user, e-government service
“The content felt genuinely clear and welcoming not like it was written by lawyers trying to cover themselves.”
User with cognitive disability, financial services
“Accessibility stopped feeling like a checklist. Our whole team finally understood why it matters to real people.”
Head of Product, SaaS company

This website is built to the standard I help others achieve
The last rib — the foundation everything rests on
HumanEI holds itself to the same standard it advocates for. This site is built with these commitments:
- WCAG 2.2 AA
- Keyboard Navigation
- Screen Reader Compatible
- Captions & Transcripts
- Plain Language
- Reduced Motion Support
- High Contrast Available
WCAG 3.0 is still a W3C Working Draft, not yet a final standard — expected sometime after 2028. It replaces A/AA/AAA with Bronze, Silver, and Gold outcome-based levels. Meeting WCAG 2.2 AA today, as this site does, already forms the foundation of WCAG 3.0’s Bronze tier.

A designer who believes the web should work for everyone
I’m a UX/UI designer specialising in accessible, inclusive digital experiences. I don’t have a background in psychology or coaching — I have a background in design, and a belief that how something feels to use matters as much as whether it works.
Most digital experiences are built for speed, trends, and an imagined “ideal user.” But real people are tired, distracted, visually impaired, dyslexic, anxious, ageing, or simply having a difficult day. The internet rarely designs for those realities. I do.
My work asks three questions at every step:
- Can this be perceived and used? (WCAG 2.2)
- Can this be understood easily, without confusion or stress?
- Does this feel welcoming, respectful, and genuinely human?
That combination — accessibility standards layered with real human consideration is what HumanEI is built on.
