Maxwell, known as the blind blogger, has been educating people about the need for accessibility since building his first website brokering used amusement park & carnival rides in 2007.

He believes those early challenges help him show empathy towards the challenges for designers & developers trying to be more inclusive. He shares his knowledge and years of experience through writing, speaking, consulting, and podcasting. And he believes that accessibility isn't just the right thing to do but it is in everyone's best interest.
