With a father and best friend both left partially hard of hearing after a middle ear infection and a circle of friends specked with neurodiversity, accessibility was never a ‘negotiable’ for me.

My name is Laura. I am a UX researcher specializing in accessibility. My current focus is on blindness and visual impairments, as I am developing assistive technology with Hope Tech Plus in Austria and the UK.

I am part of Accessibility First, a knowledge-sharing project aimed at industry professionals who want to improve their skills in inclusive design.
