Description

This is the first episode in a 6-part series all about Accessibility Changemakers: conversations with persons with disabilities, as well as allies of persons with disabilities, all of whom are working to make the world a more inclusive place through their creative leadership. Meet Kevin Shaw, an entrepreneur with a mission to build, lead and inspire. Kevin grew up with low vision and lost his vision entirely at the age of 19. In this conversation, Kevin speaks to the medical model of disability versus the social model of disability, including the ways in which people aren’t disabled; rather it’s environments that are disabling. Kevin explains how he navigates physical and digital spaces, demonstrating screen reading technology within accessible and inaccessible digital environments. Finally Kevin provides his take on what companies are doing right from an accessibility standpoint and where they still have a ways to go, leading him to explain his latest technology venture, MenuVox. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who designs digital spaces and documents, including websites, software and PDF files.I'm all about interesting projects with interesting people!

Join host, Diana Varma, as she explores the wonderful world of design and printing, typography and branding, books and publishing. In each episode Diana aims to answer many age-old, deep philosophical questions such as: Where the heck did Comic Sans originate? Why do the majority of printed books have blank pages at the end? What is the world's ugliest colour? What does a sassy three-year-old have to say about the visible colour spectrum? Ready to have some fun? Let's talk paper scissors.
