Jessica Chambers is an accessibility educator, storyteller, and human who believes the web should work for everyone, not just the people it was designed for first. She has a deep technical background, a passion for plain language, and a stubborn refusal to let accessibility be treated like an afterthought.
Jessica believes in showing up as her whole self, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. She created Don’t Panic. It’s Just Accessibility for anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider to tech, to power, or to the web itself – because she’s been there too.
She’s a Certified Professional in Web Accessibility (CPWA), but her real specialty is making accessibility make sense – whether that means rethinking icon-only buttons, writing alt text with empathy, or explaining directional language with a well-placed Captain America gif, she’s here to help people get it.
When she’s not obsessing over focus states or trying to save the internet one skip link at a time, she’s probably hanging out with her rescue cat, Salem, drinking cold lattes, or arguing (lovingly) with AI about semicolons.
