Designing Real-Time Sign Language Access as Workplace Infrastructure
This project builds scalable infrastructure that makes sign language a routine part of workplace and media communications, creating meaningful access and flexible, location-independent employment pathways.
Across public, workplace, and audiovisual media, sign language access remains inconsistent because it is treated as a special accommodation rather than core infrastructure. This project builds scalable systems that embed real-time sign language into public-facing communications by default. By standardizing how sign language is integrated, the solution expands meaningful access while creating flexible, location-independent employment pathways, particularly for women who represent approximately 76% of the sign language interpreting workforce.
