Sarah Pulis has spent her career turning it into something people actually want to do.\nIn this episode of This is HCD, Hyun Song sits down with Sarah, co-founder and director of Intopia, and the force behind communities like A11y Bytes and A11y Camp. They explore why compliance alone never delivers real outcomes, how AI can both proliferate barriers and help remove them, why culture deserves its own place alongside governance and process, and how starting small and building community is often what makes accessibility finally stick.\nResources mentioned in this episode:\n2025 Assistive Technology Survey overview: https://surveys.intopia.digital/assistive-technology-survey-2025-results/\n2026 Global Accessibility Pulse: https://intopia.digital/global-accessibility-pulse-2026/\nFigma Make accessibility trial and resources:https://intopia.digital/articles/building-accessibility-into-figma-make-prototypes/\nhttps://intopia.digital/articles/testing-accessibility-in-our-figma-make-skill/\nIntopia's Resources page: https://intopia.digital/resources/\n\nConnect with Sarah:\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahpulis\nThis is HCD is hosted by Gerry Scullion.
