Suany Casson

Digital Accessibility Specialist
Suany Hurlston

As someone who proudly identifies as Deaf and Latine, I am committed to ensuring inclusivity and accessibility throughout my work. Prior to my current role at Harvard, I led user experience projects focused on accessibility while increasing my knowledge of web development. I also had the privilege of launching an IT startup with Deaf entrepreneurs, where our main goal was to develop sign language products. With an MS degree in Computer Science from the University of Chester, I transitioned from a career in government to IT, where I could engage users on the front lines of creating accessible digital spaces. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, traveling, trying different cuisines, and learning new things.

What Disability Pride Taught Me

Accessibility is most effective when we ground compliance in human stories, center disabled voices, and build with genuine community.
