Taking lead on accessibility at my current place has opened up a whole new realization that so much of the internet and digital products today disregard these guidelines completely. 1 in 6 people have some form of disability. 1 in 6.

Have you read Laura Kalbag’s book “accessibility for everyone”? It totally opened me up to different types of disabilities I wasn’t thinking about, considering, or didn’t even know existed.

I used to work for a non-profit foundation in the open source space before the company I’m at today, and was doing a lot of DEI work which is in many ways adjacent to accessibility. Would love to hear how this transition has been for you, moving into an a11y lead role!
