Matt Roberts: Helping people understand accessibility better.
Designer and speaker
Description here (00:59)
Matt Roberts is a multi-award winning designer, public speaker, and co-chair BIMA inclusive design council, helping businesses, design studios and students understand accessibility and inclusive design better.
Everyone will experience exclusion, in some form, at some point in their life - with age, circumstance, or perhaps unexpected curveballs. Being colourblind, having an arthritis diagnosis at 24, and born hard of hearing, Matt often brings his personal perspective into the conversations, talks, and workshops he delivers.
Notable talks, workshops and articles: BBC, Creative Review, D&AD Festival, LLoyds Banking Group, London College of Communication, Wordpress, and UNICEF UK
