The Reason
Access Design Studio CEO & Founder, Denise Páne, has spent her entire life as an advocate for people with disabilities. The reason is her brother, who has epilepsy and is developmentally delayed. The deep love their family shares for each other has made disability advocacy and assuring everyone has equal access to the web a natural course for Denise.
Denise is a member of the International Association of Accessibility Professionals and the World Wide Web Consortium.

The Difference
With 25+ years of experience as a accessible web development agency, we know how to bring your unique offerings to people of all abilities.
We also know that you can’t entrust your site’s inclusion to an overlay or plug-in. That won’t bring you the level of access—or shielding from potential lawsuits—that only a dedicated team of experts can.
The Team
Access Design Studio brings to your project a diverse and uniquely qualified team of design and digital accessibility experts. CPWA (Certified Professional in Web Accessibility ) certified by the International Association Of Accessibility Professionals.
We maintain our own internal Accessibility Advisory Board, composed of individuals of varying abilities who provide testing and first-person feedback on the work we perform.
