Have you ever tried to eat broth with a fork?
That’s what most organizations look like when they tackle accessibility, design, or transformation. The intent is there, but the tools are wrong. And nobody’s asking why the broth keeps slipping through…
I’m Rachel Magario
I lead accessibility strategy and design at the enterprise level, where a single decision can reshape how millions of people experience a product.
I’ve spent more than a decade inside Fortune 500 organizations, building programs, leading cross-functional teams, and transforming accessibility from a compliance headache into a competitive advantage.
I’m an MBA in International Business & Marketing, with a second Master’s in Interaction Design. I’m also blind and a (daily) accessible technology superuser.
That combination (lived experience + academic rigor + years inside complex enterprise systems) is why I see what others miss. Literally and strategically.
I share what I learn, through consulting, education and public speaking, because these problems are too big for any one company to solve alone.
EXPERTISE & CORPORATE LEADERSHIP
Accessibility &
Design Strategy
I build the programs, not just the audits.
From enterprise design systems to cross-platform accessibility frameworks, I lead the work that moves organizations from reactive compliance to proactive, scalable inclusion.
My background in cognitive design, information architecture, and service design means I think in systems, not checklists.
AI & Assistive Technology
AI is transforming how people with interact with assistive tech—yet most people building it have never used a screen reader.
I’m working at the intersection of AI, assistive technology, and human-centered design because the future of accessible technology depends on people who actually live this experience shaping it.
Organizational Transformation
Strategy without change management is a slide deck nobody reads.
I specialize in the hard part: getting organizations to actually shift. That means understanding complex adaptive systems, navigating politics, building coalitions, and designing the conditions where real change becomes sustainable.
There’s a method to this. I bring it.
Agency & Resilience
Transformation isn’t just organizational.
I mentor and coach individuals navigating career inflection points, building resilience, and reclaiming their agency.
Every system I’ve changed began with one person deciding to stop reaching for a fork to eat broth, and instead looking for a better solution.
Offerings & Collaboration
Consulting
Strategy & design research
Yes, accessibility really can drive business innovation and revenue. As an MBA with 332,000 hours of experience in blindness, I help leaders and teams bridge the gap between user needs and organizational strategy—in a way that’s actionable and operationalized, not theoretical.
Public Speaking
Beyond inspiration
I bring the same strategic depth to a keynote that I bring to an enterprise transformation—frameworks, not fluff. Audiences, participants and collaborators walk away with shifted perspectives and practical tools, not just inspiration.
Education
Virtual + hands on
To be blind is to teach. It’s integral to getting the help you need. In fact, when I was nine years old, I taught our housekeeper how to read.
Since then, I’ve taught everything from Tactile Art to Accessibility Beyond WCAG to Organizational Change & Collaboration Skills for Conflict-prone Teams.
