Usability Testing Services
Table of Contents
I'm currently looking for work as a Freelance Usability Tester. While many companies focus on automated tools or legal checklists, I provide feedback on how a product actually feels to use for someone with multiple disabilities.
My Unique Perspective
I don't just look for broken code; I look for broken experiences. My testing is grounded in my daily reality as a blind, neurodivergent, and chronically ill user. I evaluate tools based on the framework I've documented in my Accessibility Notes:
- Keyboard-Centricity: Is the tool fully functional without a mouse?
- Cognitive Load: Does the interface overwhelm the nervous system?
- Information Persistence: Is critical data available as stable text, or is it ephemeral?
What I Offer
I specialize in identifying the real-world barriers that automated testing often misses. My focus is on:
- Screen Reader Navigation: Deep testing using NVDA and standard keyboard interactions.
- Gaming Accessibility: Finding where systems break for users who can't rely on spatial audio or quick reactions.
- Backend & CLI Tools: Ensuring technical tools are inclusive for disabled developers.
What This Is Not
To ensure we're a good fit, it's important to understand the boundaries of my services:
- Not a Compliance Audit: I don't provide legal certifications or WCAG "check-the-box" audits. My focus is on the human experience, not legal compliance.
- Not Formal QA: While I enjoy finding where systems break, I don't provide formal regression testing or code-level bug reports. I provide technical feedback on usability and barriers.
Let's Work Together
I'm looking for opportunities to help developers and companies build more humane, predictable, and inclusive technology.
