Maya Ellison

I don't start by asking what we can put behind a QR code. I start by asking what someone needs to access, who should be able to see it, and whether there's a safer or more accessible way to provide it.

Maya Ellison is an inclusive-technology and digital-identity writer covering accessibility, QR systems, wearables, community technology, privacy, and human-centered design.

Her work focuses on how digital information moves into physical environments. For Qrwear, she looks at how QR codes and wearable technology can make information easier to reach without asking people to give up privacy they don't need to give up.
