Deb Braun
@debbraun
Accessibility-focused instructional technology and e-learning developer improving inclusive digital learning.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Certified Professional in Accessibility with a strong blend of visual design, front-end website development, classroom teaching, and online course integration. I bring practical accessibility auditing experience to learning products, helping teams deliver content that works for everyone.
In my current work, I support instructional technology and build and maintain online courses end-to-end—editing and maintaining LMS content, migrating and quality-assuring courses, and performing WCAG auditing. I remediate PDFs and HTML and apply accessibility-focused workflows across course builds.
Before that, I served in web content and development roles, and I also ran a full-service freelance graphic design and front-end web development business. Across roles, I’ve combined technical implementation with clear communication, attention to detail, and a teaching mindset—so learners and collaborators both get what they need.
