This month, we meet two remarkable blind professionals who are making a huge difference in equipping blind and low vision people around the world with the skills and tools needed to access braille and tactile resources.

In this episode, we speak with:

- Jackie Brown (Northern Ireland)
Author of Braille On Display and a digital skills trainer with RNIB and Strive Ability. Jackie recently began using the Dot Pad X, and she shares how this tactile information display has impacted her professional and personal life.

- Marco Salsiccia (California)
Marco was a senior animator and VFX artist. After Marco's sight changed suddenly in 2014, he became an accessibility specialist and teaches blind creators about the skills and tools needed for producing our own digital illustrations and tactile graphics. We learn about BlindSVG, the TADA Curriculum, an emerging tactile designer collective, and Marco's thoughts on dynamic tactile displays such as Dot Pad X.

If you care about the future of tactile technology, accessible design, or empowering blind creators, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
