Meet the Team
Emmanuel Blaevoet
Emmanuel Blaevoet is the designer and printer. He has a particular interest in problem-solving custom designs, to make them as readable for the end-user as possible. He is an avid cyclist and loves being surrounded by nature.
Rebecca Blaevoet
Rebecca Blaevoet is the bookkeeper and bean-counter. She is also probably the one who will pick up the phone if you call. She collects languages the way other people collect stamps and enjoys gardening and cheese-making.

My daughter was given some special, but less commonly found books – especially in the Braille world – for Christmas. We requested to have the Braille overlay put on one of these books, so that my daughter could follow along as we read to her. It was helpful being able to sit down and discuss what we wanted to have done with Rebecca and Emmanuel, and we were impressed with the final product. I was also really impressed with how meticulous they were. They obviously took their time to get it just right, and the lines of Braille were perfectly straight on the page.
Accessible Media Inc.
Accessible Media Inc. (AMI) has engaged Tactile Vision Graphics Inc. on a number of occasions and the experience has been extremely positive.
