Macromedia Welcomes Andrew Kirkpatrick
I wanted to point out a couple of changes at Macromedia. First, I want to welcome Andrew Kirkpatrick to Macromedia. This month we are fortunate to have Andrew Kirkpatrick join Macromedia. Andrew joins Macromedia from the WGBH National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM) in Boston. At NCAM, Andrew was Director of Technology with a focus on accessibility consulting for corporate clients. Andrew worked with corporate clients including America Online, Yahoo!, BT, Apple, and for the past four years, Macromedia. Andrew was instrumental in establishing accessibility in the Flash platform. In addition to strategic partnership activities, Andrew managed projects focused on web and interactive media accessibility, and was the product manager for MAGpie - NCAM’s software for creating captions and audio descriptions, and developed STEP - NCAM’s Simple Tool for [accessibility] Error Prioritization. Andrew is a welcome addition to our team. Look for him to start adding posts here soon!
Second, we recently updated our accessibility portal at: www.macromedia.com/accessibility. Please check it out for the latest information on accessible design and macromedia tools. It includes an updated whitepaper on accessible Flash design, product info and a list of sample sites. We will be updating the site frequently in the months to come, please visit often.
