HIGHLIGHT

Apple

Apple believes “Technology is most powerful when it empowers everyone”. My work with Apple has opened up my mind to the profound impact of technology on the lives of people with disabilities. I forward to continuing this conversation and development in the space of accessibility, technology, and lifestyle.
