One email a month, with posts and articles I’ve found interesting from around the web.

I write it by hand, so it isn’t an automated digest, and it isn’t a notification every time I publish something on this site. If that’s what you’re after, subscribe to the RSS feed instead. Or, do both. Go wild!

Testimonials

I was privileged to work with Craig for several years in Government. His knowledge and passion for accessibility has taught me so much. He’s the voice I trust most within the accessibility world because I’ve seen how deeply he engages with it.

– Pete Jobes, Human Centred Designer

Craig can explain difficult things in a way that don’t make me yawn. Even more, his talks make me think! That’s quite a lot. Respect.

– Wojtek Kutyla, Accessibility Specialist

Craig has become one of the people I trust most for accessibility insight and advice. His ability to take complex technical topics, evolving regulations and accessibility best practice and explain them in a way that’s clear, practical and easy to understand is exceptional, and he’s always incredibly generous with his time and knowledge.

– Joe James, Accessibility Recruitment Specialist

I consider Craig to be a great friend and genuine thought leader in the accessibility space. Having Craig on the The Digital Accessibility Podcast was a huge highlight for me. His episode was extremely well received and grew our audience.

– Joe James, Accessibility Recruitment Specialist

Craig is one of those designers who knows a lot about a lot, with specialist and deep knowledge of accessibility. He’s one of the few people I’ll ask to review my ideas when I have doubts, because I know that he just completely gets it from a holistic point of view. If you ever get the chance to work with Craig, jump at it. I would!

– Adam Silver, Interaction Designer

Craig’s articles were an invaluable resource for me in the lead up to the European Accessibility Act. He is brilliant at explaining complex legislation and accessibility guidance in a way that’s practical and easy to apply.

– Geri Reid, Lead Accessibility Specialist

Craig’s constant contributions towards the accessibility profession have directly influenced my own approach to the work, especially around strategy. His influence is weaved throughout the various organisations I’ve worked at, and his work is uniquely scalable, sustainable and understandable, for people at all levels in profession. He’s been a reliable friend and mentor, and I value his input on knotty problems immensely!

– Shaun Conner, Accessibility Lead

Seeing Craig talk back in 2018 inspired me to shift my focus to accessibility. Even now, I frequently reference his talks, and as soon as we set up A11y North he was the first person I thought of to invite to speak.

Craig has made a massive contribution to digital accessibility, and we wouldn’t have seen the progress we have over the last decade if it wasn’t for people like him championing the needs of disabled people with determination and passion.

– Danny Payne, Accessibility Leader

Craig invests a lot of himself in the areas that interest him the most. He doesn’t suffer from surface-level thinking, he digs deep to acutely understand every possible thing he can. He speaks, you listen. Craig is someone you want in your org and team, any day of the week.

– Gavin Elliott, Design Leader

Craig is one of those rare design leaders who effortlessly links high level strategy with real human impact. Working with him at Elastic, I saw firsthand how he tackles complex design problems with steady calm and total clarity. His expertise in accessibility goes way beyond technical compliance, because he changes entire team cultures toward truly inclusive design.
