Accessiblog

It may be obvious to some, but our name Accessibrand actually means accessible branding. This type of branding refers to a brand identity that is inclusive by design. We put in the effort to ensure all people can experience a brand. People with various disabilities should feel welcomed by your brand.

Jolene MacDonald founded Accessibrand in 2017. Jolene created the new, virtual accessible design, marketing and communications agency to empower professionals with disabilities and others impacted by disability.
