Henny Swan

Having kick started my career in the late 90’s working on a Chinese search engine, I moved into accessibility in 2001 and haven’t looked back. Based in Brighton in the UK, I am currently Director of UX at The Paciello Group.

Prior to The Paciello Group, I worked at the BBC in the UK on iPlayer (Web and Mobile), Sports, the Olympics, and the BBC Media Player. I was also Lead Editor on the BBC Mobile Accessibility Standards and Guidelines.

I’m an experienced speaker and have spoken at South By South West, CSUN, Accessibility Toronto, Northern UX and more. I’ve contributed to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG), the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (UAAG), as well as been co-lead of the Web Standards Project International Liaison Working Group.
