Acces­si­bil­i­ty-focused projects are alive, active­and unmis­tak­ably Robert Jolly.

Zap­pos, George­town Uni­ver­si­ty, Nin­ten­do, Time Inc., Amer­i­can Air­lines, and Jet­Blue (to only scratch the sur­face) know what its like to launch one of his projects; hes a rare vari­ety of project man­ag­er. Robert brings a whole-team approach to inclu­sive design and acces­si­bil­itya rep­u­ta­tion backed by near­ly 20 years in the web industry.

A mem­ber of the Acces­si­bil­i­ty Team con­tribut­ing to WordPress.org, Robert speaks at con­fer­ences and heads up acces­si­bil­i­ty train­ing work­shops. He is a mem­ber of the W3C’s Web Acces­si­bil­i­ty Ini­tia­tive (WAI) Edu­ca­tion and Out­reach Work­ing Group (EOWG), where he pro­motes web acces­si­bil­i­ty to a glob­al audi­ence of pro­fes­sion­als by devel­op­ing edu­ca­tion­al con­tent in the form of tuto­ri­als, exam­ples, and oth­er documentation.

At studio.zeldman, Robert keeps the trains run­ning on time, and scru­ti­nizes all code and pro­to­types to make sure they work for all peo­ple and devices. When not work­ing, train­ing, and evan­ge­liz­ing, Robert may be found with his fam­i­ly, rid­ing his bike, or at a near­by Waf­fle House. Check out more of Roberts work on his web­site.
