Wendy is a developer, author, speaker, and trainer. She co-edited Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (WCAG 1.0) – the basis for web accessibility policy in Australia, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Korea, and the United States.

Wendy worked for the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Accessibility Initiative from 1999 to 2006. Her quest to make the world more accessible began in 1992 as a statistics tutor to a student who is blind. Since 1995, she has been making technology accessible using the principles of universal design. Having slept, breathed, and eaten content guidelines for over a decade, it’s no wonder that Wendy shares three initials with WCAG and was introduced as “Web Content” by accident at a conference.
