Your Instructor
Colleen Gratzer is an award-winning designer with close to 30 years of experience in branding, print, and web design and development.
She has been an accessibility specialist since 2016, when she was trained in InDesign/PDF accessibility by one of the top accessibility providers to the U.S. government who is on the international committees that create accessibility standards for digital media and documents.
Since that time, Colleen has also designed and developed accessible websites, remediated existing sites and educated clients, designers and developers about the importance of accessibility.
In May 2019, she was asked to provide InDesign accessibility training to the U.S. Department of the Interior and has appeared on several podcasts and given presentations about website accessibility.
Her client-based business, Gratzer Graphics, provides accessibility consulting to nonprofits, government agencies and creative firms.
Through Creative Boost, she teaches accessibility courses, hosts the Design Domination podcast, mentors designers and provides resources for designers.
