Hi! I am Meli.

At the core of my work is a belief that accessibility isn’t just a box to check—it’s a cultural shift that transforms how people experience the world. As an Accessibility & Inclusive Design Leader at AnywhereRE, I guide enterprise-wide strategies that weave inclusion into every stage of product development. My role goes beyond design—I shape vision, influence leaders, and build the systems that ensure accessibility scales across teams, and our digital properties.

I thrive at the intersection of strategy and empathy: conducting assessments that go deeper than compliance, developing training programs that empower teams, and fostering alignment across executives, designers, and engineers. I lead by building awareness and momentum—ensuring accessibility is not just maintained but continually elevated as a standard of innovation. By experimenting with new tools, sharing thought leadership, and driving change at scale, I push organizations toward digital experiences that not only meet but exceed the needs of people with disabilities—today and for the future.

Outside of leadership, I’m a proud mom to a preschooler, a craft-maker, a summer gardener, and a lifelong runner—creative outlets that keep me balanced, resilient, and energized to lead.
