Jana Scheidemann
I'm passionate about digital accessibility and committed to creating
inclusive digital experiences where equal participation is the
standard, not the exception.
My journey into accessibility draws from extensive experience in
diversity and inclusion work, where I designed and facilitated
workshops for diverse audiences both in-person and online. This
background heightened my understanding of how barriers affect user
experiences and strengthened my dedication to creating inclusive
solutions.
Through training as a systemic coach, trainer, and mediator, I've
gained valuable communication frameworks, while my five years of
hands-on experience as a Life Coach have put these skills into
practice. This background has developed my skills in empathetic
engagement and meeting people where they are.
In 2024, I strengthened my technical foundation through a
comprehensive web development bootcamp, gaining proficiency in HTML,
CSS, and JavaScript. This technical knowledge provides the essential
framework for understanding how accessibility principles translate
into practical implementation. Since completing the bootcamp, I've
continued expanding my expertise through dedicated self-study and
active participation in the accessibility community, including
regular involvement with the Munich Accessibility Meetup.
I bring analytical problem-solving skills, a hands-on approach to
learning, and the ability to quickly grasp complex technical
concepts. My goal is to develop into a recognized digital
accessibility expert, driven by curiosity, practical experience, and
an unwavering focus on creating truly inclusive digital solutions.
I built these projects during and shortly after my web development bootcamp in 2024. While they demonstrate my foundational technical skills, I have not updated them since June 2024, as I've shifted my focus to deepening my accessibility expertise.

picks activities from a list to display as suggestions.
