    Faces of Accessibility - Ted Drake, Head of Accessibility, Intuit

    I was excited to kick off this series of conversations to showcase the 'Faces of Accessibility". The series was my way of saying thank you to the people who have helped me on my Accessibility journey with their guidance and support.  In this chat, we talked about a lot of things. You will hear from Ted, stories from his early days as an engineer, his views on Accessibility and his approach to his work, how he stays in the learning mindset, and much more. Here are a few things Ted said that I loved, "Our goal was to put ourselves out of business and basically teach everybody else about Accessibility" "We have to recognize that amazing people come from environments that are non-standard." "You can teach engineering but you cant teach curiosity"
