Built by someone who lives with the barriers we remove.
QA11Y Labs was founded on a simple belief: the people who understand accessibility best are the ones who rely on it every day.
Our Founder
25+ years of screen reader mastery — not a feature, a lived experience.
QA11Y Labs was founded by Quint Williams, a digital accessibility expert and screen reader user with over 25 years of hands-on experience with JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. What started as navigating a digital world not built for him became a career dedicated to making sure no one else faces those same barriers.
Unlike accessibility consultants who learned about assistive technology from documentation, Quint uses it every day. That firsthand perspective is the foundation of every audit, every code review, and every training session QA11Y Labs delivers.
When you work with QA11Y Labs, you're not getting a checklist service. You're getting a partner who has personally experienced every failure mode your users with disabilities encounter — and knows exactly how to fix them.
