In this episode, we talk to Erin Perkins, CEO of MabelyQ and creator of Successable - a deaf and blind accessibility assistant built specifically for content creators. Erin shares her journey navigating life with Usher Syndrome, the importance of deaf culture, and why she's passionate about making accessible content creation as simple as using spellcheck. We discuss color contrast challenges, the medical model vs. social model of disability, cochlear implants, white cane training, and why accessibility should be built into the creative process from the start.
