Samuel Proulx - Designing for Dignity Through Accessibility


Listen Later

Samuel Proulx shares his experience of the digital world as a blind person, his thoughts on autonomous vehicles, and how inclusive design makes everyone's experience better.

Highlights include:

⭐ How do you feel about the prospect of autonomous vehicles?

⭐ Why did the gaming industry say accessibility couldn’t be achieved?
⭐ How has your father also being being blind shaped your relationship?
⭐ Why does the term ableism sometimes make you uncomfortable?
⭐ How does the Medical Model of Disability influence how we design?

Who is Samuel Proulx?

Sam is the Accessibility Evangelist at Fable, a user research platform that connects people with disabilities, with people who want to create a more accessible Internet. Fable also provides those same people with custom training, so they can build more inclusive products.

At Fable - as Sam’s title would suggest - he is responsible for evangelising accessibility and inclusive design. This means keeping those subjects on the radar of our world’s enterprises and helping them to see that accessibility can be more than an exercise in compliance. 

He is also very involved in the broader accessibility community, including as a long-time moderator of the official sub-reddit for Blind and Visually Impaired people. He is also the co-host of the Disability Bandwidth podcast and host of The Inclusion Hub podcast.

Recently, named on Royal Bank of Canada’s Future of Good 2022 list, Sam is one of 30 Young Impact Leaders who have recently been celebrated as people creating impactful and positive change in their communities.
