Ian Hamilton

Ian is a UX designer and accessibility specialist, with a background in both gaming and web products at the BBC, particularly gaming for preschoolers with profound motor and cognitive impairments. He now works to raise the bar in the wider industry, pushing for both gamers and developers to be able to benefit from the financial and quality of life effects that greater accessibility for people with disabilities can bring. Partially through consulting, advising directly on individual products, workflow and working practices. And also through advocacy, day-to-day awareness raising together with collaborating with developers, publishers, academia and industry bodies on initiatives to raise the profile and understanding of accessibility, from a White House policy briefing to accessibility hack events, best practice guidelines to government funding processes.
