EforAll for Me!

In January, I tentatively applied for the Berkshire County EforAll Business Accelerator program, hoping to build and grow my business with guidance. As we slowly pass peak pandemic insanity (and the kids are remaining in school!), it finally feels safe to focus on the future.

While I continue to take on exciting new graphic design clients, my focus in this program is a specific service offering — creating accessible digital documents.

During the past year, I learned to prepare my InDesign documents in such a way that, when exported to a PDF, they can be properly and easily read by people using assistive devices. When you design with accessibility in mind, everyone wins. Of course, I have much more to share on the topic — stay tuned!

I’m thrilled that EforAll accepted me into the program! From the EforAll Berkshire County website…

The EforAll Accelerator Program is a free, one-year program offered twice a year in each of our communities. This program offers a unique combination of immersive business training, mentorship and access to an extended professional network. Anyone with a dream to start or grow a business or nonprofit are encouraged to apply.

Our tri-weekly meetings began this week, including one with three local mentors who are volunteering their time to help ME! It was a wonderful first meeting, and I am honored that they chose to work with me.

Much, much more to come on this project and my adventures as an Accessible Digital Document specialist!
