Hello and welcome to our August Newsletter!

We hope you’re keeping warm and well.

This month we’re excited to share that we’ve been nominated for the Westpac Business Awards! We’d love if you could vote for us for People’s Choice to show your support for the work we do! (Voting closes this Wednesday 18^th August!)

We’re also sharing some great stories from over on our website. In the latest in our Talent Story Series we tell the story of Lucy, whose positive experience in our tertiary internship programme has been a bridge to a career she loves.

We’ve also written a blog on Universal Design, what is it, and why it forms part of our approach here at Be. Lab.

We want to make accessibility accessible to everyone so we’ve put together another free resource, a top tips article for businesses and individuals on how to make your social media more accessible.

Happy Reading, and thanks for everything you do to make New Zealand more accessible!

From Team Be.

At Be. Lab we believe that all spaces, places, products, services and experiences should be designed with access in mind, for the best possible experience for all users. Our approach is informed by universal design, and optimal practise accessible design.

We’ve put together a blog to explain universal design, how it is different to accessible design, and why we think it is important.
