about me

Hi, I'm Lina. I aim for a digital world where exclusion is minimized and all users are allowed to have an enjoyable experience, regardless of their gender, cultural background or any disabilities. I can already look back on projects where I was part of developing usable and accessible software as well as workshops and presentations that I've conducted about accessibility.
