OUR TEAM
Meet our small but mighty collection of thinkers, dreamers and champions.
Our story began with an idea. We decided to turn our passion for accessibility into something more.
The goal of our business is to provide affordable, high-quality services that help employ people with disabilities as much as possible. Accessibility is about making digital products work better for everyone, not just people with significant disabilities.
Over 50% of the population in the United States are over 40 years old. Once you hit 40, you need larger fonts, better color contrast and are more likely to use captions when consuming video content.
