I care about building with people, not just for them.
I’m Keith Delk—a Deaf product thinker, accessibility UX researcher, designer, and builder. I connect community knowledge with emerging technology to make complex systems easier to understand, use, and trust.
My perspective comes from more than a decade across accessibility, AI research, product work, and high-end media production. The throughline is participation: who gets included, who gets heard, and who gets to shape what comes next.
