What people say
Daniel was an exceptional mentor to me. He is a great listener and he always tried to give the most informed answers possible to my questions and he was willing to share his personal experiences with me during our partnership. He was also a great role model for me in terms of what a visually impaired person can achieve. his support and finding about his experiences helped me a lot to build my confidence and encouraged me to achieve my ambitions. - Zehra Yunel
I think Danielle is such a positive member of the team, she is so proactive and sets a good example of how to tackle her work and deal with challenges. She has real drive to learn and succeed and do things well, and support others to get involved. - Sarah Pickard
From ensuring PDF accessibility to testing websites and pages as a screen reader user, Daniel has utilised his lived experience and technical knowledge surrounding digital accessibility and assistive technologies to bring incredibly helpful insight to a number of projects. I would recommend him in a heartbeat; he is thorough, engaging and a joy to chat with! - Emily Yates
