About Kristy Viers
Kristy has been blind all her life. She studied Psychology at Rochester University in Michigan and relies heavily on her iPhone and iPad. Consequently, she desires the most accessible digital world possible, which includes various tech devices, apps, and websites.
She created a YouTube channel dedicated to web accessibility for screen readers to raise awareness and explain how to use specific iOS features.
She and her boyfriend have three cats, all boys, and they are her favorite animal. She also loves to read, listen to music, take walks outside, and sit at a bonfire. And chocolate!
