Insight Beyond Sight - Accessibility Consultant
Empowering audiences to create spaces that work for everyone — especially the non-sighted.
Through my VISIONS enterprise, I, Liz M, offer customized trainings, engaging programs, and expert consulting on a fee-for-service basis. With deep subject matter expertise, I provide thoughtful analysis and strategic guidance across disciplines and settings. My approach is hands-on and adaptive: I begin by identifying and clearly articulating the core issues, then design personalized experiences tailored to the specific needs of the occasion, organization, population, or professional field.
Workshops
Liz M's custom-designed, hands-on workshops offer dynamic opportunities to learn, interact, and build skills in a fun, supportive environment. These pint-sized, discipline-specific sessions are designed to bring people together, whether you're collaborating with peers or connecting with new faces.
Each workshop is built around a theme we develop together. You can plan a single session or a series of trainings focused on learning about, from, and with subject matter experts.
Whether you prefer a natural setting — like an outdoor recreation area — or a built environment, such as a healthcare facility, Liz M will guide the process using her signature ALL Principle: Ask, Listen, Learn.
