Consulting
Ian has a rare talent; writing clear digestible user accessibility reports. Ian worked for us as a consultant on a casual game. He reviewed our games development document, alpha and beta games. Ian quickly delivered usable reports within a tight time line as well as suggesting relevant solutions.
Advocacy
As an accessibility expert Ian’s proven himself to be a highly informed, proactive and trusted practitioner. He has a comprehensive understanding of the range and complexity of the disability landscape, is able to differentiate the needs of specific user groups and to meet those needs with appropriate solutions. He also informs and educates other team members (including me!) along the way
