Background

About Meryl Evans

Most organizations think accessibility is about compliance. It’s not. It’s about credibility, trust, and risk. Poor communication and inaccessible content don’t just exclude people. They damage reputation, alienate audiences, and create legal exposure. And most teams don’t see it until it’s too late. I’m a strategist who spots what others miss and names it. I’ve been trusted by global brands, nonprofits, and boards to diagnose communication breakdowns that quietly erode trust and increase liability. My background spans marketing, UX, and content strategy, with CPACC certification and recognition as a TEDx speaker and LinkedIn Top Voice. I focus on the systems behind the message: The workflows, assumptions, and gaps no one owns. Organizations bring me in when they need to- Reduce reputational risk caused by inaccessible or inconsistent communication- Strengthen audience trust through inclusive messaging and content clarity- Improve cross-functional alignment on disability inclusion without performative language- Increase reach by removing friction points that block engagement- Expose usability failures that undermine credibility and legal compliance. I don’t do compliance theater. I do clarity, strategy, and communication that holds up under pressure. Progress over perfection isn’t a tagline. It’s a mindset. It's how I move teams from performative to practical. Want to know what your audience sees that you don’t? Not sure where trust is leaking? Start with one question.
