About Us
Our Mission
At Bridgeman Accessible, our mission is to create or help others create digital products and services that promote sustainable, iterative and meaningful improvement to the accessibility of the world we live in.
What that means is, we believe in making our world more accessible to everyone, regardless of ability particularly as our world becomes increasingly digital. And we further believe that everyone should have equal access to information and resources online, in-person or in whatever format that they can engage with best or can be most productive with and we're committed to making that a reality.
Our Vision
At Bridgeman Accessible, we recognize that the current state of digital accessibility often means doing more work and spending dedicated time to do the right thing. But as a result it often gets put off or treated as an afterthought. We want to change that culture so that digital accessibility isn't something people dread doing but rather something people just do as part of “regular” tasks. We feel that this is the only way that we'll ever start to achieve real accessibilty where it's not about chasing people but having it be a natural part of the process.
Our Values
- Whenever and wherever possible be for and by people living with disabilities in a fair and just way.
- When and wehre possible provide attribution, recognition, contribution and compensation to those individuals and organizations that have come before or continue to drive the move towards a more accessible world. "We stand on the shoulders of giants"

- Authentic: “I'll be honest in saying, I (or we) agree (or disagree) with you”
