Dear AccessWorld Editor,
This message is in reference to Deborah Kendrick's October 2020 article, Employment Matters: Laura Legendary - Business Owner: Elegant Insights Jewelry.
A most interesting story.
I enjoyed reading about the jewelry designer.
I’m curious, nothing was said about how she went about finding people to actually make the jewelry as I’m sure she is not making it herself. Where does one go to find craftspeople?
Best
David
Dear AccessWorld editor,
This message is in reference to J.J. Meddaugh's October 2020 article, Small Business in the Gig Economy: How Freelance Services have the Potential to Create Employment Opportunities for People with Visual Impairments and Deborah Kendrick's September 2020 article, Employment Matters: Casey Mathews, Entrepreneur and Founder of Web Friendly Help.
Firstly, very good article from J.J. Meddaugh.
My only concern was that he did not mention any particular blind people who might have used the “gig economy” platforms to either buy or sell. I’d like lots more examples of how a blind person might sell or buy a service. Oh, he can change names or someone can write a brief National Braille Press book with examples. I don’t know what I don’t know.
I keep thinking about diving in and wondering what I might be able to offer as a service.
Second, I back read the article about Casey Matthews. He is very good. I know because I have used his services since May 1, and plan to for a bit more. At about $26.60 a month he’s reasonable though I wonder how one makes a living at that price point. But he must have a business plan of some sort. I must remember we are client and business, and not think of being acquainted. I think I can manage that, too. He and his wife did move to Colorado in September – not long after the article profiling him came out.
