Hi! I am Melissa Manak.

“I work from my lived experiences to lead projects with empathy and equity at the forefront.”

At the heart of my work lies a passionate commitment to fostering empathy and revolutionizing digital accessibility for individuals with disabilities, empowering them to navigate the world more freely. As Lead Accessibility Designer at AnywhereRE, I spearhead groundbreaking accessibility initiatives, creating inclusive design strategies that seamlessly integrate into our product development.

Every day, I push boundaries by conducting rigorous assessments, crafting user-friendly interfaces, and developing innovative guidelines and training programs. I actively engage with stakeholders to champion awareness and drive transformative change. By experimenting with cutting-edge tools and techniques, I aim to redefine accessible digital experiences, ensuring our products not only meet but exceed the needs of people with disabilities today and in the future. This holistic approach reflects our unwavering commitment to making a profound impact on the lives of individuals with disabilities worldwide.

Outside of designing, I enjoy being a mom (to a wonderful Preschooler), craft-making (when I can), gardening (in the summer), and running (whenever and always).
