Ann Landis was flying home from a conference. At 30,000 feet, free from ordinary distractions, she couldn’t stop thinking about her design team.
Her company was steadily winning web projects. She understood what her clients needed and had spent hours writing thoughtful creative briefs. The designers had spent hours trying to interpret them. Everyone was intelligent. Everyone cared about doing great work.
Yet somehow, they kept talking past one another.
At first, it seemed like a communication problem. But in that moment, Ann realized it was something much deeper.
No two people process information in exactly the same way.
Some think visually. Others think in words. Some navigate with a mouse, others with a keyboard or screen reader. Some need structure. Others need flexibility. Every day, digital systems make assumptions about the people using them—and too often, those assumptions become barriers.
That realization became the foundation of Tamarin Software.
Technology Should Adapt to People
We believe good digital tools should work for the people who use them, not demand that people adapt to the technology.
Today, Tamarin helps university research teams turn complex ideas into accessible, engaging websites, toolkits, training programs, and other digital resources.
We work with researchers to understand their goals, their audiences, and the information they need to share. Then we design and build digital experiences that make that information easier to find, understand, and use.
Our work also extends to government agencies, healthcare organizations, and other public-facing teams navigating digital accessibility requirements.
Whether we’re developing a research toolkit, improving an existing website, making documents accessible, or helping an organization meet ADA Title II and WCAG requirements, our approach is the same: understand the people, solve the actual problem, and build something that lasts.
Build Humane Digital Systems. Create Accessibility for All.
Because technology should adapt to people—not the other way around.
