Joschi Kuphal
I'm a certified web & document accessibility specialist based in Nuremberg, Germany. I'm also the founder and working proprietor of tollwerk, a web and advertising agency with a sociocracy-inspired, cooperative and self-organising operating system.
In my daily work, I provide comprehensive guidance to organisations on their journey toward accessibility. I train students in digital accessibility and practical web technologies and take the lead in initiating, co-organising, and producing online and in-person events as well as community formats. Over recent years, my interest has grown in organisational development, participatory approaches, sustainability, and initiatives focused on the common good.
