Diane Johnson
Founder and Senior Advisor, Descriptive Video Works
Before starting her company, Descriptive Video Works, in 2003, Diane Johnson worked in radio and television broadcasting, and as marketing manager for Walt Disney Attractions. She led the charge to make visual media accessible to the blind and visually impaired. The company she created is recognized as the gold standard in audio description and is highly regarded internationally and is a preferred Netflix partner.
Painting a clear picture through description, without stepping on dialogue, is a difficult skill and yet a much-needed one.
When she heard about this campaign, she was excited for the opportunity to come together with other women who wanted to make a collective difference. She looks forward to continuing to make a difference in people’s lives.
