About
Hi, Iām Jan-Willem, a Digital Designer from The Netherlands! I hope we can make the internet a place that can be used by everybody. Unfortunately a lot of companies still fail to meet the needs of people with disabilities. That's why I help them to get a better understanding of web accessibility by identifying and solving problems.
Currently I work at a digital agency named Elastique in Hilversum.
