Name
Michael Lockrey
I'm a Deaf web designer with an accessibility (#A11Y) focus.
 
Bio
After graduating with a degree in Business I spent the first part of my professional career as a Chartered Accountant.

In recent years I have undergone a massive change, re-skilling as a web designer, working from home and building up a small and loyal customer base.

The huge growth in inaccessible audio visual content (aka Video) being delivered over the internet is a huge challenge as it isolates people like me from accessing information that most people take for granted.
