About DiscoverSight
Making the Digital World More Accessible for Everyone
Accessibility, assistive technology, and AI — written from the inside, for people who live it and people who build it.
How This Started
DiscoverSight Is a Practical Guide to Accessibility, Assistive Technology, and AI.
Think about the last time a website defeated you. A form that would not submit. A button that did nothing no matter how many times you clicked it. A checkout page that spun forever. You tried everything, refreshed, switched browsers, and eventually gave up — closed the tab and either asked someone for help or just walked away.
That feeling of helplessness when technology fails you is something every single person has experienced at some point.
Now imagine that is not an occasional bad day. Imagine that is your experience of almost every product, every platform, every digital interaction.
That is the daily reality for millions of blind and visually impaired people. A date picker that does not respond. A button that announces itself only as “Button.” An image with no description. A PDF that cannot be read at all. Small things to the people who built them. Walls to the people trying to use them.
The people who built those products were not trying to make anyone’s life harder. They just never considered what the experience would be like on the other side.
And nobody was writing about this honestly — from the inside.
So I built DiscoverSight.
The Person Behind DiscoverSight
Fifteen Years in Digital Marketing. Every Day Through a Screen Reader.

I built the SEO and AI search function at a global IT services company from scratch — growing it into a centralized practice that now serves 15 business units, drives over 100,000 monthly visits, and connects to hundreds of qualified leads every year. I understand how large organizations make decisions about their digital presence, what they prioritize, and where accessibility almost always falls in that list.
I am also blind. Which means every gap in that list — every inaccessible product, every broken experience — is something I encounter personally. Not in a usability lab. In real life, every single day.
That combination is what DiscoverSight is built on. The inside view of how the digital world is built, and the inside view of what it is like to use it when it fails you.
Who This Is For
You Are in the Right Place If Any of This Sounds Familiar
If you are blind or visually impaired — you are tired of technology content that either talks down to you or pretends your challenges do not exist. You want honest, practical guidance from someone who faces the same daily frustrations you do. Someone who tests the tools, calls out what does not work, and tells you straight what is actually worth your time. That is what DiscoverSight is here for.
If you work in technology, marketing, or accessibility — you want to understand what your users actually experience, not just what your audit report tells you. DiscoverSight gives you the ground-level view that guidelines and checklists cannot — because it is written by someone who uses the products you build every single day.
For organizations building digital products, accessibility is no longer just the right thing to do. Regulations are tightening globally — from the ADA in the US to the European Accessibility Act and beyond. The organizations getting ahead of this are not just reducing legal exposure. They are building better products for every user, not only those with disabilities.
What You Will Find
What You Will Find on DiscoverSight
-
Accessibility
What inclusive digital experiences actually look like — not what the guidelines say, but what real users encounter every day.
-
Assistive Technology
Honest, hands-on coverage of screen readers, AI tools, and everyday technology. What works, what overpromises, and what is quietly changing everything.
-
AI for Accessibility
AI is moving fast. Some of it is genuinely improving independence for people with vision loss. Some of it is hype. This is where you find out which is which.
-
Digital Experience
Usability and inclusive design seen through the eyes of someone who uses these products every day. Not a scorecard. Just what is true.
Where This Is Going
The Tools Are Getting Better. The Awareness Needs to Catch Up.
AI is creating real possibilities for independence and inclusion that did not exist a few years ago. More organizations are taking accessibility seriously. Progress is real.
And yet the gap remains significant. Research consistently shows that blind and visually impaired users spend considerably more time completing basic online tasks due to accessibility failures. The tools to fix this exist. What has not caught up is the awareness of how to use them — and the will to make it a real priority.
DiscoverSight is here to help close that gap. Practically. Honestly. From the inside.
If this is a space you care about — welcome. You are exactly where you need to be.
