Accessibility Through Lived Experience
Melissa DiVietri is an accessibility consultant, disability advocate, author, artist, and founder of Blue Entity. Her work combines professional experience with something that cannot be learned from a checklist alone: lived experience navigating the world with a disability.
Melissa has spent years advocating for more accessible digital experiences, businesses, public spaces, transportation, travel, and community environments. Through her work, she identifies barriers that may be easy to overlook — from physical access and customer experience to websites, screen readers, adaptive technology, and digital navigation.
Her approach is simple: accessibility should be built in from the start.
