About Wendy Chisholm
For 27 years, I worked to make the world more equitable: I edited international guidelines to help people make web sites and applications accessible, I helped build developer tools to catch and fix accessibility issues, and I funded projects that were using AI to empower people with disabilities. This work resulted in he Trace R&D Page Authoring Guidelines, the W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, “Universal Design for Web Applications” with Matt May (O’Reilly, 2008), Microsoft\'s Accessibility Insights tool, and a variety of Microsoft funded AI for Accessibility projects and workshops. Then I took a gap year (which lasted two years) to minimize stress and maximize spontaneity, creativity, and joy. Now, I am writing, sailing, practicing yoga and connecting with friends and family.
