Hey, we are Gehirngerecht (Brain friendly in english!)

We help you to learn accessibility through engaging workshops and informative talks. And with hands-on implementation, we ensure the internet becomes accessible for everyone.

The vision

Over 20% of the global population cannot use the internet the way most of us do. Yet, imagine your professional or personal life today without it.

To build a society where every person counts, we must ensure everyone has the chance to participate. We believe in equal opportunities for social engagement—both offline and online—regardless of physical ability.

That is why we support public authorities and companies in making their digital presence accessible, helping to create an Internet for everyone!

Four geometric figures stand next to each other. They symbolise different forms of physical limitations. The first figure is a green bar. The figure has no arms. The second figure is a yellow circle. It has no mouth. The third figure is a blue square with glasses. It is blind. The last figure is a pink triangle. It has poor hearing and wears a hearing aid.

Our driver

  • Responsibility

    Devoting our time and effort to making the (digital) world a better place.

  • Inclusion

    Treating everyone equally – regardless of gender, origin, abilities, etc.

  • Self-determination

    Giving everyone the opportunity to live their life the way they want to.

The Team

Tobias Roppelt

Over the years, I’ve used my skills as a UI/UX designer to help a wide range of clients grow—from freelancers landing their first gigs to startups defining their brands, and mid-sized companies launching complex platforms.

While I enjoyed the work, I often felt like a piece of the puzzle was missing. I was looking for a greater purpose. 

I found that purpose in digital accessibility. This field has finally given me the opportunity to combine my talents with a cause that truly matters.

Nina Jameson

As a computer scientist, I spent a long time working in the industry, building software for robotics and mechanical engineers. However, that work made me realize just how many people are left behind by existing technological structures.

Inclusion has always been personal to me. I don’t believe we have to choose between business efficiency and human empathy—they should exist together. It brings me great joy to know that my current work breaks down barriers, giving people the freedom and self-determination they deserve.

Christiane Hackl

I am a communication designer specializing in clear, appealing, and inclusive communication strategies.

My work is focused on improving human interaction, prioritizing diversity, empathy, and dialogue as core drivers.

I implement new forms of inclusive communication to foster deeper understanding and connection between individuals.

Marc Haunschild

As a freelance accessibility consultant, I advise a diverse client portfolio across the business and public sectors, including ministries, universities and software companies.

Furthermore, I operate as an authorized and qualified testing center for the BIK-BITV, issuing the highly regarded national test mark.

My professional expertise stems from my background in front-end development and my part-time role at a federal authority. There, I gained early, in-depth experience developing and testing accessible interfaces for large web portals and web applications, including specific control procedures for public and private sector clients.
