About me
I'm all about accessibility, and it's not just a job for me— I take accessibility very personally. Couldn't do it in any other way, since I am totally blind. A few years back, I embarked on a mission by founding Sparrow Access, a company dedicated to breaking down barriers. We specialize in digital accessibility, making websites, mobile apps, kiosks, TV solutions, and various other ICT solutions accessible to everyone, not just those with visual disabilities. We're also on a mission to foster inclusive customer service, consult on accessible event organizing, and design inclusive physical environments.
Beyond my work with Sparrow Access, I'm involved in disability advocacy. I serve as the chairman of the Estonian Blind Union and actively contribute to projects within the Estonian Chamber for People with Disabilities, the European Blind Union, and the European Disability Forum.
When the work clouds part and allow some leisurely sun to shine on my schedule, you'll find me immersed in the world of field recording, sound design, and music production. You can listen to some of my work in my Youtube. I'm always up for a chat about potential collaborations or having some nerd talk about the latest buzz in technology or assistive tech land.
