Welcome

Here you will find a collection of my current coding and accessibility projects, my blog, media appearances, some samples of my music, and below is my LinkedIn profile and a sample of my past animation work before I lost my vision. Enjoy!

This site and sub-sites have been coded entirely by hand up to WCAG 2.2 AA standards, or as close as I could make it as a blind developer. Everything is keyboard and screen reader navigable and is fully HTML 5 validated.

Web Accessibility Resource Link List

I gave a presentation for the Andrew Heiskell Braille and Talking Books library tech list patrons about my journey into Web Accessibility, and created a link list for all the resources that I have used to build up my knowledge over the years. Educational resources, WCAG references, coding workshops and courses, organizations and companies, automated tools, and much more!

TADA!

Tangible Art & Design Adventures, or TADA, is a curriculum for TVIs to use to teach blind and low-vision students tactile drawing techniques, coding fundamentals, with the aim of guiding them towards building their own tactile and visual graphics using SVG code. I worked with the Northwest Center for Assistive Technology Training at the Washington School for the Blind on this project, writing the Advanced activities, helping with the Beginner tactile drawing curriculum, recorded demonstration videos, presented at the APH Coding Symposium 2023, and built the website that hosts the full curriculum.

BlindSVG.com

I constructed this site to teach blind and low-vision creatives how to code their own digital illustrations and graphics using SVG code. While the primary goal is to output tactile graphics, SVG can be used for any graphical application, allowing folks to make logos, art, layouts and wireframes, circuit schematics, architecture drafting, and so much more!

Graphic Design is not just for sighted people anymore! And all it takes is a text editor, some syntax, spatial reasoning, and imagination.
