How I Help

I bring accessibility to life across digital platforms, workplaces, and everyday spaces where people interact.


  • Consulting

    Helping companies and teams understand how accessibility standards apply to their products. From there, the work turns that knowledge into practical steps that make every experience more inclusive.


  • Training

    Training helps people build skills that make their work more inclusive. I guide teams through content, design, development, and customer experience so inclusion becomes part of everyday practice.


  • Auditing

    Testing websites and apps with assistive technologies. The results turn into clear, actionable reports that show what to fix and how to improve accessibility.

Projects I Work On

Accessibility work beyond consulting: products I build, and products I help make accessible.

  • Reysko

    A public transit app with trip planning and audio guidance, designed to be accessible from the start. Free on iPhone and Android.

    I design and build it.

  • All Access World

    A global marketplace for assistive technology and adaptive products, from white canes to audible sports equipment.

    I test it for accessibility.

  • Dine on Tap

    An accessible digital menu system for restaurants and bars, available as a WordPress plugin.

    I design and build it.

What Accessibility Actually Means

Accessibility is everyday independence

Imagine opening your bank’s website where all the buttons look the same, so you have to guess which one does what. Or arriving at a pharmacy where you have to climb through a window to get inside. For millions of people with disabilities, inaccessible websites and buildings create this same level of frustration. Accessibility removes those barriers so people are free to focus on what they want to do, not how to do it.

Accessible design benefits everyone

A well-designed website works with a mouse, keyboard, or touch screen. A well-designed building plans step-free access from the start, so everyone can enter in the same way. When accessibility is built in early, the result is clearer, easier design for all users. It should be as expected as seatbelts in a car: something everyone relies on and no one imagines leaving out.

Meet Elena

I’m Elena Karamanska, an accessibility consultant and long-time screen reader user. Accessibility has been part of my daily life long before it became my profession. On this website, I share practical lessons from real projects through articles and videos you can apply right away. I keep learning and growing as I work, because accessibility improves when we share knowledge and experience. If you’re looking for support or a fresh, informed perspective, let’s connect.
