“Where do I start?”

It’s the first question people many ask when wanting to do accessibility work. 

When Talleri works with clients, she starts with excitement. Excitement for culture, excitement for learning, and excitement for the creativity it takes to produce successful access.

Talleri works with collaborators to understand that every tiny movement forward in learning is a cause for celebration– an access win!

Developing meaningful access practices is a lifelong process, and the best outcomes are the ones that are developed together over time.
