For Sylvie Duchateau, they\u2019re part of a daily battle to access the digital world. Blind since birth, Sylvie is a screen reader expert, digital accessibility consultant, and fierce advocate for inclusive design. In this candid and enlightening interview, she shares what it\u2019s really like to navigate the web without sight. From AI that describes the irrelevant to colour being translated into musical notes, Sylvie\u2019s perspective flips the script on how we design for humans. She reminds us that accessibility isn\u2019t about ticking boxes \u2014 it\u2019s about creating digital spaces where everyone, regardless of ability, can belong. Prepare to rethink what \u2018seeing\u2019 the web truly means."}
