This Organization Was Never Meant to Be Built Alone
Open Door Design exists because people opened doors when they mattered most. This organization is my way of holding those doors open for someone else.
Throughout my life, people shared knowledge, encouragement, opportunity, and belief. Without them, Open Door Design would never exist.
If one person discovers a new career, gains greater independence, passes a certification, solves an accessibility problem, or simply feels more included because of something created here, every hour invested will have been worthwhile.
I Still Don't Know What I Don't Know
One lesson has guided every stage of this journey.
I don't know what I don't know.
The best ideas have come from conversations, feedback, and collaboration. Accessibility grows when people build together.
There Is a Place for You Here
If you use assistive technology, your experience matters.
If you build software, your ideas matter.
If you teach, your knowledge matters.
If you are just beginning, your curiosity matters.
If you have ever thought there has to be a better way, you already belong in this conversation.
