I am not a developer or an accessibility specialist. Hire me?

Accessibility should be treated as a design quality, not a separate specialism, Heydon Pickering argues. He's frequently hired as a consultant once accessibility has been identified as lacking, which is when he has the least power to make meaningful changes. The real issue, he says, is that designers do not know the medium of code, so they can't solve problems that are fundamentally design problems. He describes being called a 'unicorn' for being a designer who codes, and mentions his recently released project HYPERBLAM, which lets you sculpt sounds and write music directly in HTML, in the context of offering sound design and sonification work.
