Accessible Clicks

Rhea is one of the most reliable and thorough accessibility testers I've worked with. Our projects were always pants-on-fire and she comes through every time with solid results. She is also good at presenting accessibility challenges on client calls, and always patient, thoughtful and communicative.

Rhea is an excellent part of our team at Equal Entry where we are dedicated to "Contributing to a more accessible world". I have worked with Rhea on numerous consulting projects and she has always excelled at understanding and completing the work with a very fast turnaround. I appreciate her ability to write concisely about her experience using new and novel technologies as a Blind person and to make suggestions for improvement. Rhea and I have worked on projects related to many new technologies and she always impresses me with her ability to integrate the technology into her understanding and share valuable insights.

Rhea was instrumental as a member of our team at Simply Accessible; she provided expert-level analysis and findings in reviewing our clients’ web pages and mobile applications for digital accessibility, and she always communicated these findings in a professional and easy-to-read manner. Rhea was primarily responsible for identifying accessibility barriers and functional usability issues as discovered through the use of screen reading software, and her command of various assistive technology software provided our team with a unique advantage. Because of Rhea’s deep level of expertise, our team was able to analyze both how a non-sighted individual might have difficulty in interacting with specific digital content, but also what workarounds might be available for advanced AT users. As a solutions-focused professional in this industry, Rhea is masterful in providing both the technical and human context for accessibility. It’s my sincere privilege to provide a professional recommendation for Rhea Guntalilib and describe her work during her tenure at Simply Accessible, and I look forward to working more with her at Level Access.

In accessibility consulting, most just rely on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. But, Rhea is a unique individual who deeply understands and moves beyond those guidelines. Rhea conveys her lived experience into meaningful and actionable reports that extend to a wider community. Clients who read her reports connect with empathy and understanding to remove barriers and improve the user experience in their web sites and applications. I managed Rhea directly at Simply Accessible. Rhea's contributions, productivity and level of detail exceeded everyone's expectations. Every bit of Rhea's work taught the rest of the team to be better advocates for accessibility.

I must say I was dubious at the prospect of a blind programmer and analyst. It didn't take long before I totally forgot she was blind and considered her alongside my other developers. Her work ethic a unsurpassed and she is bright and a quick learner. She would be an asset to any team.

I worked with Rhea during our time together at Simply Accessibile. Rhea brings a professional attitude to all of her work, delivering useful advice and actionable recommendations to her team on schedule and with careful attention to detail. More than that, she is a pleasure to work with - friendly and generous with her time and skills, always interested in learning and growing. I believe Rhea has the potential to be an accessibility leader and am confident she will bring credit to any work she takes on.

I had the distinct pleasure to work with Rhea while we were both working for Simply Accessible. She was a valued member of every project and was able to complete her work and provide unique insight almost twice as fast as anyone else. Not only this, she was friendly, well-spoken and articulate, and would always take the time to explain any issues she found with crystal clear clarity. I would recommend Rhea in any accessibility related initiative without hesitation and can only hope that we can work together in the future.
